I will have to look up the new butterfly we saw tonight on the weekend.<BR/><BR/>Jayne- We have had a lot of creepy things in the house this summer, earwigs and beetles and more spiders than usual. I don't take pictures of them!<BR/><BR/>SG- Birds are even more difficult right now with leaves and very high grass.

It is a gravel area. I had put down the fine gravel as a base for stepping stones and just have never got the stones in place. Mmm! I would rather have the butterflies than the stepping stones. <BR/><BR/>I am going to get hubby's fountain out today and get it set up.

We too have had more mosquitoes than last year but not bad enough that I've had to use repellent. I use my own concoctions and a mosquito jacket if necessary. T mosquitoes are on the wane now. Already cooler nights ... 7C early this morning.Cicero Singshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438108795744902961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-75052327779222789812008-07-31T09:42:00.000-04:002008-07-31T09:42:00.000-04:00Beautiful pictures, Ruth!

It was cloudy and only in the lower 80's when we started, but MUGGY and it cleared up and got down right HOT! I we saw a TON of butterflies or moths (I don't know how to tell what they are) from the size of a dime to nearly a dollar bill! We saw lots of grasshoppers (some that flew), big Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627287902591490601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-71480089733703969752008-07-31T08:49:00.000-04:002008-07-31T08:49:00.000-04:00I think you have more butterfly species in your ar...I think you have more butterfly species in your area than there are in mine right now. You have posted a lovely variety. The most common in my garden are Great Spangled Fritillaries and in fields and meadows I have seen a lot of Common Sulphur lately. I have never seen a Purple nor have I yet seen a Tortise Shell this summer. I have noticed that there are no longer many blossoms in the meadow me ann my camerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06083671096943783249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-6098694372493788972008-07-31T08:15:00.000-04:002008-07-31T08:15:00.000-04:00Very nice shots.

But, along with the good things we have to take the bad.<BR/>What a great way to end my day with visions of butterflies in my head.
