Two visitors to the coneflower patch

Posted on July 21, 2017 by

Bee and butterfly; at least I think it’s a butterfly.  No clue as to what kind but if you know please leave the name in the comments and thanks.  After yesterday’s “stinky” post I felt something lighter and brighter would … Continue reading →
