| These are a few more pictures from the trail we walked on Thursday. The covered bridge crosses a small creek, and there are lots of pretty flowers. |
 |
| Even the water in this creek is so low. |
 |
| Someone does a nice job with the landscaping. |
 |
| The wild grapes are getting some purple color too. |
 |
| As in previous years, there just haven't been many Butterflies, and after all the hot dry weather we've had, I resorted to enticing them myself with some cantaloupe rind. Here is a Red Spotted Purple butterfly that spent several hours here. |
 |
| I was even lucky to get a side view. |
 |
| At the same time a Question Mark Angle-wing butterfly showed up. |
 |
| Of course there were plenty of these ugly flies too, but you have to admit it does have pretty colors. It reminds me of the movie "Racing Stripes" |
 |
| A Grey Catbird stopped in the back yard and began scolding Azrael.. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. |

Great shots...love the butterflies...we are not seeing too many this year either!
Beautiful captures Becky. I haven't seen as many butterflies this year either. I hope we get some rain and we they show up in abundance soon.
PS - LOVE your header!
Wow,even the fly is pretty.The bridge looks fantastic.
Butterflies have been rare here this year but I saw my first red-spotted purple just today! My shots not near as good as yours though so I need to try again. :)
Very nice pictures and the butterfly's were pretty. I have only seen one butterfly this year. Guess I will go down to Lake Michigan next month and see if I can see the Monarch's that stop there on their migration.
