Clouds over Kreidersville Covered Bridge

August 27, 2010

From my trip to Kreidersville Covered Bridge back on Sunday 4-18-2010. I always seem to visit this particular bridge on days when it storms, or there are no leaves on the trees or there is muddy, slushy snow on the ground. I’ll keep going back to this place until I get some nice golden light [...]

Silver Spotted Skipper Butterfly

August 23, 2010

I’ve been seeing more and more of these Silver Spotted Skipper Butterflies around the pond in the the past few weeks. They have been driving the frogs crazy.

Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moth

August 20, 2010

Found this fellow in the back yard today while photographing birds.

They [...]
