A few weeks ago I posted a photo of a "domestic" red admiral on my lilac bush. These photos were taken today at Lancaster County Central Park.

(6,819 posts)I usually follow the butterflies with my eyes and they eventually light somewhere. Some of the birds I've been pursuing take tremendous patience. I've been trying to get a clear shot of chimney swifts for weeks. They constantly change direction and don't stop moving until they roost inside chimneys at night.
