Lots of Butterflies

Here are the images from the other day at Goose Lake Prairie. I had to settle for shooting the butterflies, as the critters around here are not cooperating very well, as they typically do around this time every year. The flower of choice for most of these shots are Asters. I love how Asters make the butterfly colors pop with their bright purple petals. Most of the other prairie foliage is drying up into drab greens and browns, so seeking out the Asters for photos is a no-brainer.

I know this post is not all that exciting, but what-you-gonna-do...I'm bored out here!
