This particular Painted Lady could probably use a touch-up. That doesn't mean we can't sing the butterfly song again though!

Actually, this is probably a male Painted Lady. Tough break on the name, dude. This type of butterfly is a veritable cornucopia of butterfly colors.

The other day I was out roaming around in the woods with my camera as I always do. I saw a very bright cardinal land on a tree limb out in the open. Since it is rare that cardinals expose themselves away from other branches, I was excited to get a chance at photographing this one. As I was focusing on the cardinal, the camera's auto focus was picking up some twigs in front of the bird and focusing on them instead of the bird. I moved the camera a little bit to avoid the twigs and this time the auto focus hunted too far to the rear and focused on the following scene instead. I had no idea a deer was there until I saw it through the lens. Talk about serendipity!

Not something you'd want to find in your backyard! Not sure if this is a Python or a Boa.

See if you can spot the deer in this photo. (Hint: You'll probably have to use the arrows to enlarge the view.)

Hiding in clear sight. That would  have been the case for this deer had it not flicked its tail. In a dull, brown wooded environment, those white tails are like beacons. Seems like a design flaw if you ask me...

An Eastern Towhee almost in the open. These darn birds like to be among the sticks and branches so it's tough to get an opportunity to catch one in the wide open spaces.
