A Bear and Some Flying Critters.

For today's Camera Critters blog hop, I'm happy to say that I managed to take a picture of a small bear crossing Skyline Drive. Yes, I've gotten photos of bears up there before, but I've missed many more. Bears move quickly and often they disappear into the woods before I get the car stopped or the camera turned on. I must say we see more bears now than we did ten years ago. Last month Frank say one crossing our back yard!

Also seen along Skyline Drive was this bright butterfly. He was moving pretty fast also, but he did stop and light on the weeds now and then.

The wren in the next picture was in our yard.  Below that is another bird that was perched over a store entrance.

The rainbow appeared today as a brief storm moved away. We were doing some shopping after attending a talk and having lunch in New Market.

There weren't any critters in the rainbow picture, as far as I could tell. It did remind me of Flash, since he "crossed the rainbow bridge" on Monday and I miss him.
