The photos today were all taken October 21, the first four at Ouabache State Park and the last two on our way home that evening.

| Common Buckeye Butterfly |
I've admired other bloggers' photos of the Common Buckeye many times but had never seen one myself until this day. It made my day.
The photo above may look familiar. It's the same path pictured in my last post but taken 11 days later and showing a bit more fall color.
The picture above shows a little fall color across the "lake." The lake has begun to fill again, but slowly. Still, the Canada geese seem encouraged.

The photo above shows the sunset as we started home that night. The one below shows the same sunset in its dying glory.
Lovely butterfly, they are a plethora of color.Getting too cold here for them, hate to see them leave.Still lots of color around, I hope to get some sun to catch some today.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is where I've seen them, Steve. I might not have known to look for them if not for you. Enjoy the color while you can. Everything will soon be black and white.
Deletejust lovely. and there's nothing 'common' to me about the buckeye. glad you got to see/photograph one!
ReplyDeleteThey ARE beautiful, aren't they, Theresa? It was such a treat to have this one fly right up to me and then give me such a perfect pose. So good to hear from you.
DeleteYour sunset photos are gorgeous, but so are all the others. I'm glad the lake is starting to fill.
ReplyDeleteThank you, George. The geese are glad about the lake, too. :)
DeleteEach picture is so beautiful.Photographing butterflies can be quite a challenge. You got a fantastic shot of this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ruth. This particular butterfly was most cooperative.
DeleteYou always find something interesting during your visits at the park, Linda! I love that Common Buckeye butterfly, you've captured it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteIt's taken a little more effort than usual to find photo ops at the park this year, Petra. I was thrilled to get that shot of the butterfly.
DeleteNice mix of photos from the park, Linda. I don't know that I've ever seen the Common Buckeye butterfly, either, but it's a beauty for sure. Love the sunset photos, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Toni. I was so pleased to get that shot of the Buckeye. Sharing it with blogging friends makes it even more enjoyable.
DeleteGlad you got to see the Common Buckeye Butterfly and get such a grand picture of it. I thought I recognized that path, and it still looks very inviting. Linda, what a beautiful sunset you captured...especially the last one. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks kindly, Gerri. My photo didn't do that sunset justice. It was amazing!
DeleteI have never seen that kind of butterfly in person here either. It is gorgeous. oh I love the geese...and fall colors
