Well, it was a chance to try out the new macro lens as was this shot of a bud on the sunflower in front of the store.

Monarch Caterpillar
We went on our Saturday birdwalk at Walker Avenue in Wayne, NJ. There were lots of dragonflies and some butterflies. We found several monarch caterpillars--fat and colorful.

King of the City
Brother and niece visited New York recently, and we took the subway down to Battery Park. I found this monarch dining on the flowers in the Robert F. Wagner, Jr. Garden along the waterfront. I'm always amazed at the variety of wildlife one can find in the City--if you look.
We saw the Coast Guard Memorial in the harbor near Castle Clinton. This is the only piece of sculpture that I'm aware of where part of it is deliberately in the water. It's a fitting tribute to the Coasties even if the birds are somewhat disrespectful.
We had gone to Charlottesville to visit Monticello. We also took in the campus at the University of Virginia where the bull thistle was in bloom.
