Purple

June 29, 2023FlowersJonathan

A purple water lily with a yellow center grows out of a pond. It's surrounded by several large lily pads that have purple and green streaks

Not sure which I find more beautiful: The purple water lily, or the purple and green lily pads.

Silver-spotted skipper

A butterfly perched on a leaf. It has a brown fuzzy body and brown wings with orange and off-white spots.

Came across this butterfly on a lunchtime walk. So grateful for nature to be close by where I work.

Biking through forget-me-nots

June 15, 2023Bicycling, FlowersJonathan

Close-up of a cluster of forget-me-not blossoms.

When I was biking the trails of Peninsula State Park earlier this month, the forget-me-nots were at peak, and widespread! There were so many at times, you could breathe in the sweet scent from those tiny blossoms as you pedaled past the largest patches.
