Painted Lady Butterfly
Great Spangled Fritillary Butterfly
I see all the best stuff when I’m outside with Thomas. Last night, it was a meteor. Today it was butterflies visiting my zinnias.

I think the wind just momentarily bent her wing over. I don’t think it was actually damaged.

Spider and Baby Zinnia
The babies are finally starting to bloom. There are also more day lilies budding. Hopefully our neighborhood doe won’t clear cut them.

Spicebush Swallowtail

I always get these confused with the dark Eastern Tiger Swallowtails. I think this is a Spicebush Swallowtail, though.

Doe
I found a bunch of photos from last summer on a memory card. This doe had a fawn that she would stash in my zinnias, while she was busy taking care of important deer business.

The Last Butterfly
We’ve had several hard frosts, so I expect this dying sulphur is the last of the season’s butterflies.

Stragglers
I should clear the garden, but there are still a few skippers and sulphurs showing up to feed on the tail end of my sad zinnias.
