Dragonflies, Butterflies, Horseflies on the Walk.

It's been a big year for dragon flies. It must be because of all the rain last year, and so far this year. This one appears to be a male Common White Tail, and indeed they are very common.

This one may be the Green Darner, and they have been way more common this year than usual.

I thought I had a different one here, but it turns out to be the female White Tail.

The weed of butterflies, the Cabbage White.

Another shot, showing the underside of the wings.

A big New Guinea Impatiens. Georgia has a few of these, sharing the deck with peppers and tomatoes. They like full sun.

Skye and I did make it to the beach today, and despite the mid 80's temperature, the north breeze kept it tolerable to the Siberian. A big Horsefly bit my leg on the way home

The next two photo shows the Cormorants hanging out on the channel markers at the harbor.
