Beautiful Day!!

It was a great day to be outside. I spent about 4 hours today in the meadows and swamps searching for subjects to photograph. Many species flying around and many wildflowers. I plan on going back again tomorrow...just can't get enough of the outside and the beauty of the wilds. I added a two new species to my butterfly list today. The Eastern Pine Elfin and Common Ringlet.

Common Ringlet

I hope to find them again and get some better shots. They are so hard to get close too...

Here are a few more images I took today.

 Yellow Goat's Beard

Wild Columbine

Great Afternoon

I spent a few hours in a swampy meadow this afternoon. Many dragonflies, butterflies and wildflowers. The only thing it was really windy, so I did not get many photos. I am planning on going back again tomorrow. Here are just a few I photographed...
