August 10 -- Heat wave

Tuesday night I made to Lowell's for the first in a long time.  It was the hottest day of the year, with water temperature of 93.3 F.  We should have been skunked, but we killed them.  I caught 14 bass and a crappie.  Biggest bass was 2 lb.  I took the motorcycle out for the fishing trip.  It was warm, but not bad.  I had a Camelbak to drink from in any case.

This Tiger Swallowtail on Ironweed I shot from Lowell's pontoon boat.

Male common whitetail; hard to avoid overexposure.

Late Sunday morning I took a bike ride around town, mostly for photography purposes.
We're having a nice bloom of these Common Buckeyes. I think this bee had as much pollen as she could carry.

Clouded sulfurs are common, but not that easy to shoot.
