I was in butterfly nirvana yesterday along the Cone Bridge road that leads to the Suwannee. All along both sides of the dirt road the Elegant Blazing Star plants were in bloom with Fritillaries, Sulphurs and Swallowtails feeding among them in the breeze. Even spotted a Zebra Swallowtail. Met Don Thomas who lives up that way, thinking I was broke down. Funny how the locals greet a fellow out photographing butterflies, kind of like one snickers at an effeminate guy behind their back. You just pick up on their smirkiness. Funny.
He said a large bear was in the area, had I seen him. I assured him if I had, I would have been in the Suwanneee as I had hiked a ways along the bank upstream earlier.
Too bad the drive up is twenty-five miles or I would go up there daily.
