Water skippers are so much fun to watch. They must be quite difficult to photograph - they're never still!

Pretty ladybug! I saw one the other day that was checkered in yellow and black. Very suprising.

Skippers are one of my favorite parts of summer. I got lucky and nabbed a photo with my phone when my shadow wasn't on the water. :D

Oh, wow, what a startling sight that must have been!
