Look who's freshly eclosed! Why it's a... oh, dip I forgot to make note of what species these butterflies are. Suffice it to say they're all native North American species, mostly from Florida. If you really want to know you should go to the Franklin Park Zoo and go into the Butterfly Pavilion. On these wicked hot days when all the birds and mammals are sacked out and panting, the butterflies are super enervated.

Today I ate my first wild blueberry of the year, at West Roxbury Quarry.  There were acres of blueberry bushes, and of the hundreds of berries I saw, there was only one ripe one.  A few more days or weeks and there will be a feast.  Also I ate a couple handfuls of mulberries, from three different trees growing in the lot where Alexis parks her car.  Each tree's berries tasted different, and the largest tree with the darkest berries tasted best.  I can see some neighbors have serviceberry trees dropping fruit, but I haven't gotten up the courage to forage them yet.
