Mourning Dove, Black Phoebe and a Red Admiral Butterfly

I’ve been lazy in posting some of my new “finds”. Since the weather is nasty today, I thought I’d catch up with my latest photos.

This Mourning Dove was kind enough to land close by, a bit too close to frame the whole body.

I’m not a Butterfly Photographer, but I saw this Red Admiral Butterfly in my blind a thought I’d capture him…just because.

    So clear and so close…it is “darling” to view.

    Hi Mike,
    I read about you in Guideposts, and saw some of your photos which I thought were absolutely beautiful. I love nature, so here I am to see more of your photos. Are any of these for sale? I would like to purchase one of your photos.
    God Bless,

    Jessica, I have a photo gallery that you can purchase my photos. If you want one of my non-gallery photos (from my blog), let me know which picture and size and I’ll let you know if it’s available.
