By neighdoctor October 25, 2016 one still here… (3 photos)

I was visiting Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh, NC, looking to photograph the fall flowers.
A butterfly bush (yes that is its name) caught my attention
as the skippers, cabbage and sulfur butterflies flitted about…
and a single, glowing, male monarch butterfly.
Oh, wow, I thought that all of them had already left for Mexico, their winter home.

attention elsewhere

By neighdoctor October 17, 2016 attention elsewhere

The bald eagle noted my friend and I watching him.
Then in just about complete disregard for his flight trajectory over our heads,
he cocked his head and noted something on the lake below before flying over us and was gone.

This fledgling bald eagle seemed to be intent on scaring the two humans with their big cameras
as he made a great imitation of a B52 bomber on target.

Then feeling that he had properly put the fear of the bald eagle into us,
he dropped his left wing, turned and headed up the lake.
