Every afternoon it clouds up and gets rainy in Alpine so not much to photograph. Managed a flight shot of a Variegated Meadowhawk dragonfly and a Cyna Blue butterfly this morning while it was still hot and sunny. That's it.
I usually don't even try for flight shots because my camera is too slow to focus, but this ode wouldn't land so I chanced it. Photos are the only way I can identify some of them.

Can you tell me the name of the plant that the butterfly is feeding on? Very unusual bloom!
Good question, Marlin. I hadn't even thought about it until I read your comment. I posted the photo on a plant group. Will let you know what they say. When I was taking the photo I was totally focused on the butterfly and just assumed it was a spent bloom. But now I see that it's not. I'm just as curious as you are to know what it is.
Someone in the group said it's a spent bloom of a Chocolate Daisy (Berlandiera lyrata). Good to know.
Thanks,,,very interesting bloom.
