Wow, a Cherry-faced Meadowhawk dragonfly. There were a lot of them too. I love the red body.

First Monarch of the Season
Although I believe I may have seen one previously, this is the first photograph of a Monarch butterfly I have taken this season. We observed several of them yesterday; they are truly beautiful creatures.

The Quiet Art of Watching
There is something truly captivating about the gentle beauty of the mourning dove. Watching one just quietly resting, completely at ease, is a wonderful reminder of how peaceful nature can be. They have this incredibly calm presence, just chilling out and taking in the world around them without a single worry.

Vacuum Up Lunch
This White-breasted Nuthatch was like a vacuum going up and down the tree looking for his lunch.

Where Are The Butterflies?
This is a beautiful Hackberry Emperor butterfly! In years past, we would have seen a lot of them, but they just haven't been around much this year. In fact we have not seen butterflies of any variety.
