Birds and Butterflies by Myra Rudin

I often get asked if I take “regular” photos, such as flowers, trees, dogs & cats, or other types of “nature”, and critters and creatures seen while travelling. The answer is yes, – so here to start the new year on a colorful note, a selection of favorite photos of birds and butterflies, from a collection of “natura”. Most of the photos showing water are from south Florida (except the mandarin duck, which one lucky day appeared in Central Park!) The others are mostly from Mexico, Costa Rica, Aruba or Martinique.
