Hidden Butterfly........


The red admiral butterfly is blending into the multi-textured river birch tree.  I haven't seen many butterflies this summer and this guy did stay still for me to photograph it.  He is hard to see in this photograph as the darker  part of the bark is its background.

A new bloom that was bought two years ago. It takes a while for them to establish. The company is in Oregon and our climate does allow them ...
