Well, the park was open for Broward County "Water Matters Day" but the trails were not. I wandered around the main building to the back where you would normally head off to one of the trails. Just as I was just getting into it an Alata flew by me. It landed on a wild coffee bush a few feet away. Got out the camera but I was on the wrong side of the butterfly as the light was coming from the East and I was on the West. I took a couple of shots anywhay before I attempted to get on it's other side. This is one of those shots. Not great, but at least you can see it fairly well. Good thing I took the few i did, as when I got around to it's other side, my battery went dead and the camera closed. By the time I got out a spare battery it was getting late. I was meeting other SFGG'ers there so I packed it in and went off to meet the others. I'll be going back there in the morning for a another walk. One never knows what one will find out there.
