A Red Admiral was patrolling a pathway through the woods near the river this evening. Unfortunately a shadow obscured the blue spots near the lower tip of the wings when I took this photo, and he (or she?) didn't give me a second chance.
The Flycatcher
To describe my lifelong fascination with flight and with creatures that fly I like to echo the words of John James Audubon who in 1839 wrote of himself as "...one who never can cease to admire and to study with zeal and the most heartfelt reverence, the wonderful productions of an Almighty Creator."
