47: Eating Out

48: Just Hangin'

 

ROMEO & JULIET have fledged!

These two were inseparable. They often shared a leaf as caterpillars. They made their chrysalises side by side on the same day, Romeo first, then Juliet. Last evening they hatched 20 minutes apart, Juliet first. Today they fledged just 4 minutes apart, Juliet, followed by Romeo, who flew right up and over the house! May they fare better than their Shakespearean counterparts.

49: Female Monarch and Garden Flowers

 

50: Zinnias over the Path

The building this path leads to is closed.  For that reason, the flowers have leaned over into the path!  I've never seen it like this before, and probably never will again. 

51: The Figure-8 Sailing Race is today

 Wil and Root*Center*Son will be sailing through the Inner Bay and Outer Bay, through The Cut, then out onto the Broad Lake to sail a figure-8 around two large islands in Lake Champlain, then all the way back again!  I hope to be at this location to get some photos of the race from shore.

UPDATE: High winds have postponed the race by one week.
