Wild Kingdom

Posted byTrail RockerPosted inUncategorized

My cousin Rick’s place is truly “Wild Kingdom”. He has multiple bird feeders, hummingbird feeders and birdhouses in his yard. In addition, as I indicated in my previous blog, he assists in the birth of Monarch Butterflies. While staying with my cousin I took advantage of the many opportunities to capture nature with my camera. While traveling this year I have tried numerous times to capture a photo of a male cardinal. They appear to be camera shy. At Rick’s place I was successful.

First comes the caterpillar.
Then the cocoon.
Then the beautiful butterfly. This one had just hatch and was drying out when this photo was captured.
