Back to Carolina Beach State Park

Went back to Carolina Beach State Park several weeks ago and went on their weekly Carnivorous Plant Hike. We saw these "sundews".

and Venus Fly Traps..... this area is one of the only places where these plants are native.

Also was able to photograph the painted buntings again. I cannot believe my fortune in being able to see these gorgeous birds on a regular basis!

This is a female painted bunting.
Was invited to the home of a person I met on one of my hikes to see the painted buntings being banded.
