Camera Critters I

I couldn't decide whether to do insects or farm animals for the Camera Critters, so I decided to do two posts.

There is a road on the north side of the Niobrara River. It has many photographic opportunities. These photos were taken when I visited in September. The first three photos were taken within about ten feet of each other.

This Woolly Bear Caterpillar showed the evidence of the short rain shower we had earlier in the morning.

Further down the road there was a patch of flowers where I found these guys

Then there's this guy that I never did nail an id on.

And last, but not least, is a colorful guy that really moved fast. Never was able to id him either.
