~ Just Some Late Summer Photos ~

These flowers caught my eye on a recent trip to Springmill State Park in Mitchell, Indiana. 

I love how these Mums are bordered by Lamb's Ear.  So pretty!

I don't know the name of this butterfly because I am too lazy to go look it up!  I thought it made a lovely picture though.  Update:  after some searching, I think this is a Euptoieta claudia.  (http://pick4.pick.uga.edu/mp/20q?guide=Butterflies)

 

The formal garden above is just like the kind I might have, if I had the time and talent to plant one.

Again, I hate posting flowers without knowing their names, but sometimes, for me, it is just enough to enjoy the flower without knowing its name.

Sep. 10, 2009 - Butterflies

Posted by daybydaygrace
My DH & I are almost sure the butterfly is not a Cabbage Butterfly or a Monarch Butterfly because we have been looking at those this week. We had a naturecolor sheet that we were trying to identify the butterfly on. It turned out to be a Cabbage Butterfly. I think you have aroused my DH to do some more searching. He made the coment about some web site he was going to go to to identify the butterfly. It's amazing how much schooling parents get by homeschooling their children. Bless you, Traci

Welcome to my happy little place to learn about the study of nature and all things beautiful. This is my personal nature journal, where I hope to record my fledgling journey as a naturalist and my appreciation for the Master Gardener's creation.
