Working Breakfast

I joined several walkers, fellow explorers, and breakfast eaters at the park this morning.  
The Red Admiral Butterfly above was enjoying the last of the Wild Bergamot.  

An Eastern Tiger Swallowtail found a nice patch of Prairie Blazing Star to sip among.  

And the Soldier Beetles were out in full force offering their pest control services to search, destroy, and devour bugs bad for plants.  They found plenty of chow among the variety of summer flowers.

Enjoy!

Summer Finds . . .

Found an older Red Admiral butterfly enjoying the late sun.

Motherwort is blooming everywhere now.

And Butterfly Weed is showing her blazing orange colors.


Summer is progressing.

Enjoy!

October Red Surprise

Here is some 'Red' for your October.  This month seems to be butterfly month for me.  Today obliged with a Red Admiral.  The under wings are quite colorful with blues and purples too.

Enjoy!

Admiring Admirals

Along the marsh road I followed a Red Admiral a little while.  The butterfly posed  nicely for me.  As I walked along, it seemed like he was following me and wanted me to take more photos.  Closer observation revealed there were a NUMBER of Admirals sunning themselves not just this one.

Enjoy!
