Thursdays at Reynolda Gardens

This may be a new trend.  I went to Reynolda Gardens on Thursday again.  It has cooled down a little this week, and this time I went after work.  Of course I would go every day if I could!  Maybe I can just move into the play house.

Lots of butterflies today!  I even saw a Monarch, but it was too fast for me.

Common Buckeye

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

Hummingbird Clearwing Moth

Some kind of cool drangonfly.  Blue Dasher I think.

Sundays at Little Walden

Didn't know if I would make it to Little Walden today, it rained all morning.  It cleared up, but no sun.  It was actually a little chilly, but no complaints here!

Fridays at Reynolda Gardens

Since this Friday the forecast high was 103 (whew!), I decided to get up extra early and go to Reynolda Gardens before work.  It was totally worth it and here is why:

 Cute little skipper (possibly a Sachem).

 Is it a moth?  Is is a hummingbird?  No, it's a Clearwing Hummingbird Moth!

My first turtle sighting at Reynolda Gardens!!
