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.
Late Sunday morning I took a bike ride around town, mostly for photography purposes.
| This Tiger Swallowtail on Ironweed I shot from Lowell's pontoon boat. |
| Male common whitetail; hard to avoid overexposure. |

| 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. |
