Greenbelt Critters

[lavendertook]

So I did go out to grocery shop yesterday, but since the water was almost too hot on Thursday night, I flaked on going to the pool this weekend. Not a lot done, but thank you so much to my friends who help me to not feel too bad about that.

Here's some critters I've seen by the lake over the past month for you:


I believe that is an American Painted Lady butterfly.




A water snake hanging out.


I think that is a red-bellied woodpecker, rather than a red-headed woodpecker as you would more intuitively call it--wev.


A clymene moth sitting on the path.

I did get my furry roommates to play a little bit in turn this weekend. They were each entertained for a few minutes. Tuxie is still most entranced by string.

The yellow butterfly looks very similar to the butterflies that were most common during my childhood. I haven't seen one like it in decades. I had forgotten them entirely. Then I saw the image and all these memories came flooding back. Cool! And thanks!
(Probably not the same species of butterfly at all, but nevertheless I got great memories just seeing your guy.)

I'm glad the pic triggered a cavalcade of great memories--that was fortunate. Yay! (-:
