I celebrated my birthday last Sunday with a visit to the
Living Desert Wildlife and Botanical Park in Palm Desert - it's about a 2 hour drive from where we live. Even though I was born and raised in So. California, I never knew this place existed! I had a wonderful time exploring the "Butterflies Alive" exhibit. These two Painted Lady butterflies were nice enough to pose for me. (You can click on the photos to view a larger image.)
I've never had any luck taking pictures of hummingbirds (they were always blurry) so you can imagine how happy I was with this photo. This little
Anna's Hummingbird perched on the feeder just long enough for me to take her picture.
