Findings Week of August 14, 2023

Week of August 14, 2023

I don't have many photos this past week.  Visiting around London ponds again.  The mosquitoes are still really bad. I get a good photo once in a while and other times I'm deleting a lot like this past week.  Butterflies were very few.  A lot of Cabbage Whites and saw one Eastern Tiger Swallowtail...have not seen any Sulphurs yet.
