Thanks! Sort of a hodgepodge today : )
Wow I would love to see and be able to photograph an Osprey! And that Barn Swallow picture? I’ve found they are the hardest birds to photograph because they are the fastest flyers. Also love the glassy wings on your honeybee. Love your flyer round up. Very inspiring to go out and shoot more bird pictures.
Thanks! Definitely lucked out with the swallow! I would love to get a good bluebird picture…
Beautiful! Especially the Catbird and butterfly.

Thanks! I Have lots of Catbird in my yard and they don’t seem to be as sky as other birds.
Such great photographs. Loved the one of the Buckeye Butterfly. So gorgeous and I don’t think I’ve seen one here in Boston. Thanks for the shout out about the Osprey Post. We both love birds but I have hard time getting closeups!

I have trouble too – I waste far too much time trying : ) Thanks! Isn’t that butterfly amazing?! My daughter found it. I couldn’t see it at first, so well camouflaged in the gravel.
