This week has so far been very rainy, inflicting a heavy burden on the daisies and causing their stems to break, sending most of the flowers to the ground. Other flowers survived intact and even seemed to thrive on the rain.

Finally a picture of a butterfly. It is the Cabbage Butterfly, a very common one and the first to appear each year.

Cabbage Butterfly: it is a male because it has a single black dot on its wing.

More odds and ends, this time of some coreopsis that I encountered during a walk last October at the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge. These images should bring some colors to those of us in the Northern hemisphere where winter has now officially started.

Near the Brearley Oak

Near the Brearley Oak that I posted about last fall, there is large piece of land owned by a major pharmaceutical company. The land has been left unused for the past 15 years, and much of the vegetation has reverted to its wild nature. Last week I went there to photograph the Brearley Oak with its full complement of leaves. However, the birds and flowers in the back of the oak were much more interesting.

The tree was filled with sounds of birds which nested there, and I am sure most of the sounds were warnings the birds sang about my intrusion into their domain. Here’s a robin perched on a branch of the oak.

As I walked along a jogging path near the oak, I saw many flowers, some familiar, and others I can’t name.
