    Black Swallowtail Butterfly (Caterpillar Stage)

    June 25, 2020 / No Comments

    This caterpillar, if he’s fortunate enough to come to full maturity, will end up a Black Swallowtail Butterfly. I found him, as well as several others, munching on this dill plant.  The dill plant is one of their favorite food choices. Caterpillars are preyed upon by many species of birds as well as, yellow jackets, and some beetles. In some…

    One of Harwinton CT’s best ………..

    June 20, 2020 / No Comments

    This beauty was on our list of shots that day in Harwinton CT. As I pulled up I knew I had a winner but the sun was destroying the shot. It was in the low 90’s that afternoon. There were some clouds overhead. Cheryl patiently waited in the car as I stood on the street edge for at least 25…

This particular scene is part of a several acre lot home to horse stables and riding area’s. However, this was the only barn I had a decent shot on without entering…

    An interesting barn lies almost out of view …………

    June 20, 2020 / No Comments

    It was a hot Saturday afternoon in Harwinton CT while Cheryl sat in the cool of the car and I hopped out for a second to take this shot through the trees. This was not a planned shot, we happened upon this barn while on our way to another location. There was no access to the barn and it was…

    It’s a one horse show…………..

    June 20, 2020 / No Comments

    Another day of barn hunting with my beautiful wife Cheryl. This barn was on a fairly well traveled route through Harwinton CT. However, having said that bear in mind Harwinton only has population of about 5000 people so it’s still a nice country road. I only had this one angle on the barn and I couldn’t wait for the horse…
