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.

    The bear doesn't seem to be in a hurry to cross the road. The bird on the roof has a great view of everything. Nice to see a rainbow, they are always a pleasure especially when you can photograph one. Nice photos Linda and have a lovely day.

    Nice captures. The wren is cute. It's always exciting to see a bear or a rainbow in my mind.

    Wonderful photos. Nice bear photo but I think I wouldn't really want to see one crossing my backyard. So very sorry for your loss of Flash. Losing a furry family member is a tough one.

    Congratulations on your bear shot! It's nice to hear there are more around - hopefully we can peacefully co-exist!
