Tower Hill Dahlia Show and More

I visited Tower Hill Botanic Garden today to see the Dahlia Show.  It was wonderful, and I also enjoyed walking the gardens under cloudy skies.  I didn't see too many butterflies, even though it was plenty warm enough.  I saw a few Cabbage Whites in the vegetable garden, a Gray Hairstreak near the parking lot, a Monarch also around the vegetable garden and a Great Spangled Fritillary in the systematic gardens.
