SLIM PICKINGS

Taken at the Sweetbriar Vivarium last Friday. The available natural food sources for the butterflies are shrinking by the day. You can see this Monarch searching the drying flowers for the last of the
GOOD STUFF. A spider was also working this group of drying flowers but as luck would have it the Butterfly Escaped untouched. SORRY FOLKS
It's just that the eat or be eaten dramas are the shots I ALWAYS LOOK FOR.
It's a SAVAGE WORLD OUT THERE especially among the little creatures !!!!!
ENJOY THE WEEKEND We are GRANDSON SITTING.
