Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning

Each Sunday after attending Queenstown Lutheran Church (Terry Kee is terrific) we start our Sunday ritual - a visit to Far East Flora (across Queensway), chicken macnuggets kid's meal at MacDonalds and then a walk home. Today, I decided to walk along the perimeter of the forest. We have had lots of rain for the past few days and thought, hmmm - maybe some interesting insects will appear. I wsa not disappointed.

A small grasshopper

A tri-flower

some turtles in the pond adjacent to MacDonalds

then a lone turtle

And sort of good news bad news. An elegant red dragonfly resting on a rather dull and boring white pipe.

What was interesting were the wing shadows

and the side. Then he decided enough is enough - and off he went

Then a grasshopper peaking over the leaf

and a rather elegant red bug

Another grasshopper

from a different view

Then a small small white flower with blue

A rather uncooperative butterfly - which would not sit still long enough for a sharp focus

a different view

And one of the interesting yellow flowers

Maybe with some small insects inside?

and a last butterfly
