Cone flowers and butterflies

Yes, I  know it has been a long time.  Life has been a bit complicated, I guess.  I will go into more of that in the next few posts but for today, just some flowers and stuff.  I did not have the right lens on for butterflies but now that I know where they roam (and there were a ton of them!) I will try again.  But you get the idea.  It is after the 4th, so maybe more will come forth.  Watch this space!
