| Chipmunk |
 |
| Wild Lupins |
The nice thing about My World Tuesday is I can be as whimsical as I please, and today is just a series of photos that I like, with the only qualification that they were taken this summer.
The chipmunk is a fun shot because he is obviously hiding from me.
The Lupins are in a clearing on one of the trails and are breath taking in colour and extent. The Mountain Laurel is even more beautiful now that I know what it is.
Similarly, the Chestnut-sided Warbler is a beauty and now recognizable in his fall and spring plumage. Go back two posts for the clearing up of that problem. The female redwinged blackbird who started off screaming at me as I was too close to her nest, and then decided to pose.
The female Hairy Woodpecker who was busy and illusive, and then suddenly posed also.
And finally the Swallowtail, who is just as fluttery as the small birds, but stayed put for a few photos.

Wonderful photos of the flowers, birds and butterflies. You do live in a pretty world there. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteloved it all. :) the first warbler shot made me smile!
ReplyDeleteThey are all lovely images, but the butterflies are just outstanding. So very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat Swallowtail is stunning, and those are great captures. They're not that pale around here, with much more yellow in the wings. Is that pale color common there, or is that one lighter than normal?
ReplyDeleteGreat Series.
ReplyDeleteI love the Mt. Laurel. Is it fragrant?
ReplyDeleteThe fall Warbler is cute as ever.doing the happy dance to see him again.
Loved the Swallowtail also. Our Easterns are yellow. Lovely to see them in white.
