My NC driver's license arrived in today's mail. Tomorrow I will register my car and get NC plates. That means I will be a Jersey Girl driving around incognito!
Spent most of the morning at Airlie Gardens. My camera is still not working properly and is cause for GREAT frustration, to the point that I have thought of going out and buying a new camera (is that why I was surprised by $800 in the mail this week?)
But here are some of the photos I was able to take, even though I usually had to turn my camera off, take out the battery, replace the battery, turn the camera back on... and then take a picture... sometimes I could even take 2-3 in a row before having to do the whole routine over again.
Other than the obvious butterfly, mute swan, and LARGE spider there are
several pictures of juvenile white ibis, a flying wood duck, and some kind of hawk or falcon that I watched swoop out of the trees several times and try to catch lunch in the lake.... of course, those were the times the camera did NOT take a picture.
Had to back up three days and do some catching up! Love these photos. I'm glad I'm able to enlarge most of them and annoyed that others I cannot (like the young ibis' and the hawk/falcon) and wonder why that is. The detail in the butterfly is stunning!
