The populations of the neo-tropical insectivores are and have been disappearing at an alarming rate. This has been happening for several years but is now occurring at an accelerated rate. The neo-tropical insectivores are the warblers, tanagers, thrushes and orioles.

Here are some pictures  of a Monarch butterfly on a bee balm flower at  the patch in our yard.    Dave

I have been studying a lot these last couple of weeks.  Trying to understand how the worldwide hosting systems work and how I can keep all these photos available for you to view years later.  At the bottom of this page you see an opportunity to view previous post.  Dave has posted his wonderful bird photos for what seems to be years now. I think I have it set up where you can keep going back over those photos.

I have also been studying things that I can do with those little 3 second videos that the iPhone creates every time I snap a photo.  And, obviously I continue to play around with PhotoShop to create photos you are sure are real!

I don’t see a bear, do you see a bear down there in the woods?

With all the locks they put on this fence, you would think I would know enough not to ride my bike in there. – Oh, by the way, where am I?   Why is my hat in that bear’s lap?

As you swing through life, enjoy studying things – I do not know what else to say – my brain is full today from all my studying. Catch you next time.
