Early Fall gifted us unseasonably high temperatures. Many weeds & plants have already died back. It allowed colorful blooms in my wild garden to standout. Just when I thought none of the Zinnia or Verbena seeds I scattered had grown! The last of this seasons Sulpher butterflies caught my attention. They were active! Fun to watch and photograph.

They seem to prefer the coral ones. Perhaps due to the more open shape of the flower.
It didn't take long for the wings to make their way to the Verbena. There were SO many zipping around. I tried to catch more than one in a frame. I changed my mind and focused on a butterfly that had landed and was backlit.
Just like potato chips, I couldn't pick just one (photo).
I never thought I would be taking butterfly photos this late in the season. It was late September when I saw the last Monarch, and heard the last Whippoorwill.
Our Hummingbirds left early October. Although I am fairly certain I saw a straggler this morning. My feeders are down, but thankfully blooms are still going strong. For now. The little hummer better head South. Our weather will be changing very soon.
