I was trying to get a decent shot of one of these . . . {Blue Dasher Dragonfly}
. . . when I got distracted by this . . . Silver Spotted Skipper
. . . and startled by this. {Yes, I knew it was a chipmunk!}
Don't come running to me when your face explodes!
Special thanks to Misty for identifying the dragonfly and butterfly.
haha...he looks like he is about to explode...cool dragonflies...
ReplyDeleteNow I thought unidentified flying object! But hey the first two photos are really unidentified flying objects hehe. I think the last one is a chipmunk not so sure but looks like it. ^_^

Love it! Beautiful photos of the Blue Dasher dragonfly, Silver Spotted Skipper, and full-cheeked chippy. hehe
ReplyDeleteDon't ya just love when you're intent on photographing something and all of a sudden you notice something else nearby?
How sweet, is that a squirrel feasting on the berries?
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't seam to be disturbed by you taking the shots.
That chipmunk is just the cutest fat thing ever.

ReplyDeleteI can see why you get distracted! What a little piggy chipmunk you have there! But she is awfully cute. I'll be thinking about you today with the storm.
