Here is another shot of Queen Anne's lace. I think it is more interesting on the underside.

Dragon Fly


While I was walking at Crabtree Swamp I saw several dragon flies. Those things are sooooo fast. They don't land where you want them to and they don't stay still. I wish this one had landed on something dark and had been at a better angle. I thought I was lucky to get this one.

Briars


I took a walk along Crabtree Swamp early last Saturday morning. The sun was still low as it shown on the leaves. It made a nice contrast even on the briars.

Buzzard

Buzzard

I was walking around the farm, camera in hand, when I spotted several
buzzards soaring over their buffet. They are not pretty birds, but they are
very graceful fliers.
