| Tiger Swallow Tail |
On the way to explore the lake I came across several different Butterflies. Some will hold still, some zoom off. These are the Butterflies that didn't zoom off on me. It is fun to be out and hunt for Butterflies. I try and find a food source and slowly walk up and take Photos . They are super sensitive to movement , so you have to move very slowly and be patient and take your time. The food for this Nice Tiger Swallowtail of course was the Wild Bergmont.

| Gray Comma |
This Comma was rather beat up , but the light through his wings was cool to see and he held so I could get a shot .

| Red Spotted Purple |
The Red Spotted Purple wasn't camera shy at all, I think it new he was looking good and wanted it's photo taken. This is one of my favorites the Red Spotted Purple.

| Great Spangled Fritillary |
This beautiful Great Spangled Fritillary below left was a good get for me. I haven't seen many of these , and a nice add to my butterfly photo collection.
Here are the studies I did from the lake on the reserve. This Bull Frog sat very still in the water, he had an hungry eye on a Dragonfly that was trying to land on his head. The lakes edge was buzzing with Dragonfly wings . This study was of a Twelve Spotted Skimmer.

This final study this week is the Great Spangled Fritillary.
The weather is going to get cooler this coming week and I'm looking forward to hitting the trail to see what will be my next inspiration, just a study or a full blown painting...
