Swallowtail

I saw this swallowtail in the grass this morning and snuck a quick shot. I didn't notice all of the dew drops on the grass until I uploaded the picture.

Little Spots Everywhere

We saw this pair at Powder Valley while visiting with my sister.

It so friendly. When it first saw us it started to run to us. Then stopped.

It got within a foot of my sister. She took these two pictures.

There are baby deer everywhere.

What will I take pictures of when the babies grow up?

This one is my favorite. My oldest son spotted these spots at the state park.

We first only saw the mom.

These are pictures of the twins in our own backyard.
A few days ago we got to watch them all day long.
At sunset they dissapeared into the woods.
This was looking out the kitchen window.

The next two I was able to get of them standing on the deck about 10 feet away.

Another group over by the dam. I told you they are everywhere.

It's Mom who just brought it food.

The babies outgrow the nest very quickly.

No wonder they fledge only 14 or so days after hatching.

The last day to see the baby's.

They were all in the nest but flew off as the kids played on the toys.

Mom and Dad were close by guiding them and keeping a close eye.

I looked over the fence over at the pool by the park and saw this little one flapping around in it.

It was breathing fine. Just really wet. I put it back in it's nest and we left. I hope it did okay.
It's been fun watching them grow up.
