I stopped by one of my standard Milkweed spots and saw that the Red Milkweed Beetles were gone. They've probably already laid their eggs and died. The seed pods looked good, and if I'd had time I would have taken more than these two photos. I'll be back, though, because I love photographing the pods during their burst and catching some of the seeds when they are airborne.
Then I spotted a large patch of Tansy without any bugs. At least I didn't see any. I don't very often photograph Tansy just to celebrate the beauty of Tansy. It's always because of the bug guests, especially the Ambush Bug. Well, you can click on this photo to enlarge it, and myabe you can find a bug or two. I couldn't.
Then I had to stop for death again. I titled this photo "Human Intervention" because I felt bad that the fox was struck in a road. The only obvious injury was to the hindquarters which meant it could have been a slow, painful death. But maybe it was immediately in shock and didn't suffer much.
I prefer to remember her this way, so I titled the last photo "Rest in Peace."
