For one thing, it is abnormally warm--it was 71F/22C today while the normal temperature is 59F/15C. Our hibiscus plants and a neighbor's lilac and forsythia bushes are blooming (normally at this time of year these plants are without leaves, much less flowers). And in other news, a convicted felon was elected President of the United States. Strange times. #climatechange #HoosierMast

There were some, but not many. The weather looks a bit ominous, too. IDs in ALT. #insects #butterflies #sky #clouds #photography #nature #HoosierMast

So let's enjoy them while we may. IDs in ALT. #insects #butterflies #InsectsOfTheFediverse #insectphotography #nature #HoosierMast

https://med-mastodon.com/@carpingdiem/113070960429840282 carpingdiem@med-mastodon.com - The heat and humidity finally broke, so I took a walk. I passed by an unused field whose edges had been mowed; many red clover plants had popped up and recently flowered in that mowed strip. I looked closer and saw that there were dozens of small and medium butterflies flying among the red clover flowers. It was just a small overlooked strip next to an abandoned lot, but today at least, it was full of beauty. #insects #InsectsOfTheFediverse #insectphotography #nature #hoosierMast #flowers
