This was one of the beautiful horses on the carousel at Galaxy Land in the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I was there 10 years ago, but had never posted this photo. I'm driving very little right now while my mechanic waits for a part, so I haven't been able to go birding or to other photo ops. Hence, dipping into my archives and playing with the pics I already have. 6/30/22 www.sparhawkphotography.com
This is a close up view of a Southeastern Lubber, a type of large grasshopper, that I photographed in Florida in April. I happened on a mass of these and Horse Lubbers in the middle of migration, seeing a few hundred of them, covering signs and posts at a rest stop. They were also in the nearby foliage, where I found this one. He was about 4 inches long. 6/29/22 www.sparhawkphotography.com
I ran across this shot from the Florida trip last April. This was the Edward B. Knight Pier in Key West. I liked seeing this old couple sitting there looking at the view of the gorgeous water. We walked way out on the pier, looking for birds. Gulls and terns were flying around overhead. 6/28/22 www.sparhawkphotography.com
