Great pictures
A nice change from the usual furry buddies. Thanks Claudia.
Truth be told, the Cannibal Fly is a bit furry. 😃 It’s also kinda scary, being that it’s about 2 inches long or bigger. It’s a Bee killer, we have a lot of Carpenter Bees and European Hornets here.
I like the hawk photo, that would be hard to get. Good one FD.
Thanks Claudia!
It’s always a pleasure – every Sunday.
Thanks, Claudia!
I didn’t know frogs could fly.
Mornin’ everyone and great set of pics!
Addendum, the second image was taken in the much smaller Saw Mill River (creek)…which is 1/2 mile east of the Mighty Hudson. Herons use the smaller creeks to hunt and the main river…well just to relax.
That said could very well be the same!
@Jethro – me neither…great shot though.
Thanks C!
“I didn’t know frogs could fly.”
Well if you launch them just right, they attain both altitude and distance.
Excellent! I always enjoy everyone’s pics and photography.
I should have submitted a picture of my pet turd.
If you’re not furry then you must be nekkid.
I could’ve went another Year not knowing There were Cannibal Flies
out there…. 😉
Kinda cool looking though.
That Luna Moth. Beautiful. Have not seen one in person yet.
The butterfly, is that a dark blue? Pretty!
The hover frog is cracking me up. 😀
Great photos, everyone!
