At the park along the creek, a new white flower is starting to bloom.
A couple of monarchs have been teasing me in the last week or so. I can see them, but they would not land for a photo, until today!
Hope you enjoyed!

Green Frog, White Wild Indigo, and Orange Monarch
Spotted a green frog on the way to the park today. It was on one of the large-leaf plants near the ponds on Boone Avenue. It was resting on an upper leaf nearly at eye level.
It is a Rana Clamitans. Looks a little young yet. A reader has corrected me on this one .. it is more likely a Cope's gray tree frog. If you see something that needs to be corrected PLEASE FEEL FREE to contact me with the correction! Thanks Tami!

A White Wild Indigo. The blooms turn to black pods when it goes to seed.

Monarchs are right at home on a milkweed! The caterpillars only feed on milkweeds.
Hope you enjoyed!
