Before the Heat

There are heat warnings again today, so off to the park in the early morning.  The sun rises differently in the summer than fall or winter.

Although the sun has been up for a while, the nature walk area is still in the shadow of trees.  In the distance, sprinklers water the soccer field.

A new patch of Yellow Goat's beard is blooming near the first bridge.  When this plant goes to seed, it looks like giant stiff dandelion fuzz.

When the sun hit the creek path, I found a couple of  white butterflies flirting.  This one stayed still long enough for a picture.

Hope you enjoyed!
