For my birthday, I spent most of the morning in the gardens. I was feeding, watering, weeding, and I saw so many butterflies that I had to grab my camera.
Here is a link to my Flickr page, where I have the rest of the set posted.
I was wandering around down near a watercourse in Medford, NJ over my lunch break and taking some photos. One of the downed limbs had a lot of moss and lichen clinging to it so I went over to take a closer look. In addition to the growth, the branch had a lot of very cool insect chewlines.
