went to a local park. She wanted to roller blade and I wanted to do a little bugging.
She drove and since she did not have any OFF in her car, we could not spray down. We should have gone back to get some.
We get to the park and she starts putting on her skates and I head for the woods, camera in hand.
I don't really understand what the reason was but I had a heck of a time finding anythng to shoot. There were millions of flowers in bloom but I didn't see one honey bee. Iwas wondering if they had sprayed for insects but since this was a nature preserve, I didn't figure they did. The fact that the dang skeeters were eating me alive should have given me enough information to know that there was no spraying going on too. There were plenty of skeeters and horse flys!
I got back to the parking area before Mary did, as she was skating the 8 mile trail. I sat at a picnic table and waited. I looked down and there was a butterfly in the grass. He sure looked sorry and I thought he was dead. I finally reached down and picked it up and saw it was alive but I think it had just about run out its string. Sorry looking sucker.
This is a picture of it. Not great but what the heck, it didn't look all that great either.
The other one is just some bug I happened to see and snapped a shot.
It was good to get out though, even though I am itching like heck now
