2010-Early Summer Reflections......

From Bottom to Top.....

- Been experiencing quite of bit of this....afternoon thunderstorms building over the Cumberland Plateau......rest of the week is for cooler (low 80s/low 60s on the plateau) and drier weather.....with less humidity....back to normal...

- Sunflowers....an entire garden of them......makes the Goldfinches happy.....

- One of nature's winged treasures....the Tiger Swallowtail.....

- Top of this photo shows the Spicebush Swallowtail.....both are genus Pterourus.....

- Two immature Wild Turkey males (called jakes) crossing the road in Stone Creek Phase 5........

- The track of the Wild Turkey....this one most likely a couple of days old.....

- Most likely the track of a young doe.........the back foot has landed in the track of the front foot....photo enlarged.....seeing newborn fawns at times.......
