In addition to being confused by swallows, flirted with by night-herons, and confused by mutt ducks, we also saw a lot of cool butterflies and wildflowers. Here's a little photo album, with IDs where I could figure them out:
some kind of sulphur? John and Hap say Checkered White. Sounds good.
cute little purple flower
Swamp Rose Mallow
blue horse-nettle
pretty purple flower
Mexican Hat
Mexican Poppy
unknown pretty flower
Common Checkered-Skipper (thanks, Hap)
Dayflower
unidentified butterfly
I couldn't figure this one out; shaped like a Mourning Cloak but colored differently. It was just plain gray on the outer wing-sides and this vibrant orange-copper on the inside. John and Hap say Goatweed Leafwing -- sounds good!
An American Lotus among the lilypads
a more battered Checkered White.
