I took the following photos over several weeks from late summer into early fall.

The refuge’s Wildlife Drive is about 8 miles long, 5 of them covered with Goldenrod bushes on both sides of the road.





Nearer to home, our town library planted a butterfly garden this past summer. I used my Samsung Galaxy cellphone to take the following shots.

However, the bees seemed to prefer yellow flowers.
