We took a lunch break and then walked at the Great Meadow.
To get to the Great Meadow, we had to pass through a gate with a sign that said something like "Caution - Bull May Be in Meadow". And then, over the next hill, this is what we saw giving us the evil eye. Who knew if she'd call in the reinforcements?
We didn't see many butterflies in the Great Meadow, but we did see the following:
Garter Snake
Praying Mantis
Eastern Bluebird
Impulsive Apamea Moth (unconfirmed)
On the way home, I stopped at Bolton Flats but wasn't sure if it was hunting season or not. There was a truck with hunting bumper stickers on it, which added to my concerns. Then, as I boldly made my way in, a hunter in full camouflage with his gun came walking out with an inflatable boat on his back. That was it. I turned back shortly after him and headed for home. I did stop to photograph a frog first!
Pickerel Frog
I was taking the back way home through Southboro, and when I saw how dramatic the sky was, I had to stop and photograph the church.
