Fun Friday: The Complete Smile

By Jim | Published July 20, 2018

In today’s Fun Friday post, I’m featured a view of the Black Swallowtail caterpillar that you probably don’t see very often. As a photographer, it’s a view that I get all too often, but usually don’t want!

Update on the Twins

By Jim | Published July 11, 2018
