We had lots of Asiatic lillies for quite a while. Really striking
colours, while in flower. Then the dreaded red lilly beetles found them.
I'm waging something of a losing battle with them, except in one area
where I can monitor and deal with the infestation.

Subject: [OM] IMGs: butterflies, flowers, and other images to wrap up
summer
It was a summer of strange and often unpleasant weather this year where
I live. Gallery is a hodge-podge of things from close by.
Flowers are almost all from our yard -- requisite catalog of lilies
(status update for Mike) and then zinnias later. We planted zinnias
last year from packaged seed and then gathered the seed that became this
year's crop. They seemed smaller the second time around, but that could
be the weather.
The monarchs like the zinnias and worked them pretty thoroughly over the
last month. The non-monarch fellow was caught on a lonely country road.
Couple landscapes I've posted before.

Cameras were E-3 and E-410.
Oh -- in the spirit of full disclosure -- photo of pelicans flying with
the moon is a composite, just for fun.
