I know, I know, it’s been over a week and I promised to be better about updating this blog then I have been in the past. I’ve felt like crap lately, and just haven’t wanted to do anything. To make up for it, here’s another multiple picture post.
A swarm (I don’t know if that is the scientific term or not) of ladybugs has taken up residence on a large clump of weeds in my back yard. This isn’t even the largest group I’ve seen on it at one time.
This is a wood duck, one of a very small number of species of duck that perch in trees. The wood duck is also North America’s most colourful duck, though you can tell this is a juvenile because he doesn’t have all of his coloured feathers yet. I’ll go back to this same spot again in the near future to see if I can spot him again.
I’ve been trying all summer to get a good picture of a dragonfly because my mom is crazy about them. This is the best one so far, but I’ll keep looking for one with a little more colour.
This was just me practicing taking pictures of birds in flight, I’m starting to get the hang of it I think. To get great shots I’d need a much faster lens that is currently out of the budget.
An early morning shot of the legislature building.
