Well, Dad and I were outside but we got chased in by a thunderstorm. At least I won't have to water the plants today! The butterflies were out and about today and I got some good ones. Let's start! First, is a Barred Sulphur which will not leave the coreopsis alone. It really likes those things; I'm glad I made the decision to buy eight of them! Next up is a Monarch on milkweed. Not very original, I know, LOL! Speaking of Spicebush Swallowtails, a male one decided to bask on my cedar tree and I finally got a picture of it. Next is one of the Cassius Blues that hardly ever leaves the plumbago, but it too, seems to like the new coreopsis. Finally, there's a Gulf Frit checking out the verbena. I could have gotten a better picture but I was tired and din't want to get up at that point.
