Summer Fungi & Fluttering

Summer Fungi & Fluttering

I was helping my husband pick up sticks in the yard (before he started mowing) when I noticed something that looked like a tangerine (at least that's what it resembled after a quick glance anyway). After a closer look I realized that it was a mushroom - it was so cute! I quickly ran to get my camera (see pictures below).

I later looked it up and it really is called "Orange Peel Mushroom".

A few weeks ago I did a post about the "Mushroom Tree":

Later that week, I was walking through the garden when I noticed a beautiful "Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly" fluttering around. Actually, it was so fast that I was unable to focus correctly in the pictures below.

In 2023 I did a post about this type of butterfly and the pictures were much clearer (click HERE to view "The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly")
