Fall Robin
The robins have returned and are enjoying the fall in the forest nearby. We have so many around in spring and early summer and then the vanish only to return as fall begins.
I enjoy their company and are grateful for their return to our little woodland nearby.
on a swivel
Quietly perched and giving us the 180 degree head turn like only an owl can give a Great Horned Owl waits in the early evening light for their day to begin.
Happy hunting to the owl and have a great weekend to all.
Like air
This little dragonfly seemed as small and ethereal as the air in which they flew. I am not sure the exact species of Dragonfly but this one was one of the smallest I have seen this year. Perhaps a juvenile?
They were hovering about then occasionally landing on the fall grasses out in a field where we take a walk. This one had what looked to be eggs attached to their body. Do Dragonflies or Damselflies do that?
Barely as long as a few grains on the grass.
Greetings Grasshopper
Heading out for a morning walk we were greeted by this little guy soaking up the morning sun on a milkweed plant. Good Morning Grasshopper.
Cactus Coreid Bug
This guy was found crawling about on a group prickly pear cactus where we take a daily walk. It always leaves me in amazement that so many animals have evolved to look so much like their environment.
And what a lovely environment it is.
Great Horned Owl
It had been far too long since we had seen a Great Horned Owl. A few weeks ago this beautiful owl sat in the sunset and allowed us spend time watching them.
