A few critters I found

at the Arboretum. I'm not good with small creatures, but I keep trying. These are a few I found along the way.
I was glad s/he didn't know I was there, or I wouldn't have been able to get him in the frame!

These guys were very shy, but one finally got in the sun and free from covering branches.

I don't have a clue what this little guy is, but he's very pretty.

Nice set of creatures Kathy. Our flight season here in PA has come to an abrupt halt. Of course i especially like your first shot of the Variegated Meadowhawk. Nice work!

Beautifully composed set, Kathy. Especially love the size perspective in the middle two photos; the birds are a colorful gem in a sea of forest leaves. Fabulous bokeh in the butterfly photo, very nicely done. The Arboretum has been very productive for you.

Thanks, Joe. I really appreciate the comment. I like to see birds in their habitat, so I usually don't crop the images. The butterfly was a real serendipitous moment. Normally they flit away before I can raise my camera. This one did not. There's always something at the Arboretum.
