As usual it has been an extremely busy summer for me and I haven't had any time in the studio at all. I usually have the camera fairly close by when I am working in the garden or when we are out camping and have quite a few pics to sort through. I seem to have better luck finding the time to get things posted on my Facebook pages when I am busy so it is past time for me to get things updated here in blog land.
...and you know that summer is starting to draw to a close when the anemones start to flower!

Butterflies in the garden have been few and far between this year, we have just had our first Monarch feeding on some flowers in the last few days. We usually have a few of the "Admiral" variety around throughout the season, this one has a few scratches and a chunk missing from his underwing.

In June we visited the Mountsberg raptor centre and I was able to take some really nice closeups of a variety of captive birds. All of the birds at Mountsberg have a reason for being there, mostly due to an injury of some sort. It was a hot sunny day when we were there and the 3 yr old bald eagle was really enjoying his shower.
Please visit my Photography page for more pics of the birds at Mountsberg.
They also have a small farm with a variety of rather tame animals as well as a lake for fishing/swimming and picnicking and some very nice walking trails as well.
