THE FRITILLARY FAMILY OF BUTTERFLIES HAS MANY SPECIES-WE THINK THIS ONE IS A MEADOW FRITILLARY AND WAS JUST OFF OUR PRAIRIE ON THE DRIVEWAY.About Me
For years we have kept track of events such as the arrival of the first Hummingbird or the blooming of the first Marsh Marigold. We have now begun to photograph these events and felt others may be interested in what we run into in our "nature wanderings". CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE THEM. TO VIEW ALL THE PHOTOS FOR A PARTICULAR MONTH JUST CLICK ON THE MONTH DESIRED. All photos are copyrighted but may be used for educational purposes if credit is given to authors of this blog.
