The Summer Azure butterfly is small with a wingspan of 1.5-1-75 inches. The upper side of the male is powdery blue, often with ill-defined white patches on the hindwing. Females have much white scaling on both forewings and hindwings. The underside of the hindwing is pale gray or white with small black dots and a dark zigzag line. The hindwing fringe is solid, with no checkering.
The closed wings are whitish as in this photograph. Open wings are blue rather than violet, which is visible in flight.

Holstein Heifers from the farm below look for greener pastures.

Mist and fog cover the mountains and valleys below as the sun rises.

The first fiery sunset of the fall in the Catskill Mountains.

The catskills have many mornings with mist and fog in August.

Alert, loveable, and mostly obedient.

Unusual color for this wildflower

sunrise and tree 2016

She is a sable colored sheltie with a wonderful personality, sensitive, loyal, gentle just like you can see in the photo.

The tiny Apple Blossom opens to reveal a complex structure. It is little wonder that they turn into delicious fruit.

The Bee is obviously attracted to a different type of Goldenrod which grows alongside its flowing cousins.

This wildflower is called Yellow Goat’s Beard (Tragopogon dubius). It is often found in fields, meadows, waste ground, roadsides, railroads, and bl
