During a couple of hours in the park I captured these.
Central Park Short Visit
Insects
Ward Pound Ridge Insects
Always a joy to spend a day at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation. Marc photographed the spider wasp. It wasn’t until I processed it that I saw it was injecting a spider with its eggs.

Dappled deer and a Japanese beetle – Wikipedia
Greenbrook Dragonflies
We saw a hummingbird, osprey, and red-tailed hawks (one was a light orange). The lake is only a puddle now so no ducks or other birds. There are lots of dragonflies.
NYBG Yellow Roses
The rose garden continued by color.

Bayard Cutting Wildlife
Every year, an Osprey nests on the chimney at the mansion. I love the chickens at the small farm there.
Hudson River Park
Hudson River Park near our apartment in October. A honey bee photo bombed my shot of the skipper and pulled the focus away. I enjoy framing the city with vegetation.
Greenbrook Wildlife
A visit to the private little nature Sanctuary in Tenafly, New Jersey. The beetles and spider are new species for me.
