On My Walk

Walking down Perimeter Road I saw this Carolina Wren, and he was singing and singing.  I thought it would be a good opportunity for a small movie, but as soon as I changed the setting on the camera he decided it was time for preening.  No movie.

There seems to be only one loosestrife in the wetlands.  But the teasel in the meadow seems to be gone, and there is so much Canada thistle, a bad weed.

Tough job to get a photo of the clear-wing moth, as they are in constant motion, but here it is with a bee.

The male pondhawk is such a beauty.

Spotted this praying mantis in the grass.  It is half grown at this time.

A mated pair of cabbage whites.  There have been few butterflies to be seen this year.
