The nest in our yard where Red-tailed Hawk used to lay its eggs and then raise its young blew away during one of the ferocious storms last winter, so I haven’t seen too many Red-tailed Hawks this summer.
This was such a treat to see this hawk perched in one of the trees by the salt marsh, probably looking for breakfast.
Beautiful bird, don’t you think?
We have been waiting for the new Leica camera to come out for a long time. They finally released the Leica C-Lux this summer and it is awesome! We just received it this week so this is my first macro with my new camera.
I was practicing taking a photograph of a rose in my backyard and noticed that a grasshopper was inside. What a treat!
Pretty awesome, don’t you think?
This was the first Painted Lady butterfly that I’ve seen all summer here on Cape Cod. I usually see tons of them throughout the summer months. I thought it was so strange that I hadn’t seen any at all.
This was the only Painted Lady that I saw at the Audubon and it looked so small. I don’t remember them being so small. I researched on the internet and it says that they are a large butterfly, as I had remembered. I wonder why it was so small and why I haven’t seen any all summer?
Anyway, it was such a treat to see one at the very end of summer. They are such a colorful butterfly. Have you seen any Painted Lady butterflies this summer?
