This morning I went to Lake Avenue at 9:30, in an attempt to beat the heat. This is a great area with a lot of visual interest, but we haven't really captured a whole lot of wildlife here. The first thing i saw was a Great Blue Heron in the river. Then a huge flock of geese flew over head. As I walked along the trail, I marveled at the array of wildflowers lining the river. But the closer I looked, the more butterflies I could see. There had to be 15-20 different species. My favorite was the Common Buckeye, one that I had not before encountered on the trail. I was impressed by the beauty of the flowers along the river, and the photos look nothing like how the area looks most of the year. I only stayed out a little over an hour, since it was already getting very hot. My newly learned lesson, that great photos can be taken anywhere, anytime, was re-enforced today.
