Wandering

Murphy and I went wandering at his place at Summit Park yesterday, a great hike as it was hot downtown and cool up there.  Plus a lot of dogs for him to splash in the water with!!
A few things caught my eye and here's a couple of them.  The butterfly is one of those that has beautiful purple wings when open, but when closed you can hardly see it. Great protective qualities.
The young birds are fledging now, stumbling around trying to fly; here's a Mom bringing a fly to one of her young ones (after severely scolding Murphy and I for being in the wrong place!).
