Today's walk and butterfly report

 After a slow motion morning I finally got out for a walk. Docken joined on over the phone and for this I am grateful. 

There wasn't much going on at the local botanical garden until I spotted this monarch butterfly. He took off, sort of disappeared actually, before I was able to move in close.

But wait, as I moved in I looked below about knee high and observed not one, not two or three but rather four cabbage white butterflies (Pieris rapae). Ultimately there were six of them all hovering around one large Westringia fruticosa, aka, the coastal rosemary, shrub. 

Off for a walk and on my way back to the car I saw someone had decided to decorate the mid-campus statue of the school mascot, the Brahma bull, named after the school founder, Clarence.

Now playing...
