These are two Queen Butterflies that I photographed in Arizona last summer. I was birding in Canoa Ranch preserve, and saw SO many butterflies--some were the yellow sulphurs, but most were these Queens. They were all over the place--I loved it! 11/20/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
Seeing Pascale's mushroom shots reminded me of a shot I got in Arizona last August. It was monsoon season and they had had a lot of rain. I had seen several interesting mushrooms, some of which I posted here at the time. I never did post this one, however, of an old stump at a bird sanctuary in the small town of Patagonia, Arizona. I liked the mix of colors and shapes of the mushrooms, all in one place. 11/19/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
Back into my pics from the September coastal California trip--one evening we dropped by "the Rock" close to sunset, and this moon was rising in the golden-pink glow. 11/18/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
