Hello,
I took a lot of photos during our walk and visit to the Hashawha Nature Center. I saw so many butterflies, this summer seemed to be the year of the butterfly for me.
The Swallowtail butterflies were everywhere.
The waterlilies were beautiful in the smaller pond.
Waterlilies, Slider turtle, Chickadee and some Black Eyed Susans.
A Monarch Butterfly landed on the boardwalk in front of us.
Carroll County, Md is mostly farm land so we see lots of barns during our outings.
Thanks for coming along on my walk, I hope you enjoyed these photos.
I thank you for visiting and as always thank you for the nice comments. Have a great day and new week ahead!
Here is my list of memes for the week, I hope you can check one or some of these fun memes and the participants post.
Thanks to Tom the host of The Barn Collective
Thanks to Jesh for hosting Seasons
Thanks to Maggie of Normandy Life the new host of Mosaic Monday

I am so glad that you have seen so many flutteries - have seen but two this whole summer here... YAM xx
Maravilhosas tuas fotos,adorei! bjs, chica
The butterflies are gorgeous! Sweet little chickadee and the turtle is certainly soaking in the rays!! Hope you have a wonderful week!
I'd love to visit someplace that had so many butterflies! I'll bet it was beautiful.
I enjoyed your pics very much. I saw two tiny turtles on my walk today and lots of tiny yellow butterflies. You know how to charm them into posing for you! Have a great day.
I'd like to start my day like that turtle - having a stretch and catching some sunshine on a rock.
really nice mix. flowers, butterflies, waterlilies, turtle, barn. :) and even a fence in there.
Your top butterfly shots are impressionistic and Art!
Lovely captures of the butterflies. I always enjoy seeing them.
Eileen, what a fabulous collection and a barn to boot! I have seen very few butterflies this year, not a good sign. Thanks for your visit, please hurry back.
Oh what sweet photos. Love the turtle, chickadee and butterflies. I hope your week will be very nice.
What beautiful photos today! How cool is that turquoise barn, along the beautiful green countryside. You do seem to have the privilege of the prettiest butterflies, don't you? The chickadee is one of my favorite birds. I have actually had the pleasure of watching one build a nest a few years ago. Remarkable photos, great post! Have a great week ahead, Eileen!
I am really enjoying this series, Eileen! So many beautiful things to see!
Photo #2, lovely seed heads, is that the Globe Thistle? Beautiful butterflies everywhere.
You have had a treasure trove of butterflies this year. I think I've seen more here than the last couple of years. Interesting barn with the doors on the side, loft, I suppose?
very beautiful!
Beautiful Monarch and Swallowtail and still so many white water lilies flowering in September.
Hi Eileen,
marvelous photos of the center, the butterflies and all the beuatiful nature around.
Best regards, Synnöve
I am enjoying all these beautiful butterflies! and also the turtles! and water lilies! have a beautiful week, Eileen!
Hi Eileen, I'm just fluttering by to admire your butterflies - I'm hoping our Summer here in Australia will be the year of the butterfly also!

This is unbelievable. Have your learned to photograph a dream?
Superb collection of butterflies & turtles & a beautiful barn. Would that happen to be an Amish buggy peeking out the side door? It looks like their red safety triangle.
Great post!
Love the Swallowtails and Monarchs..Pond shots are fun as well..Enjoy your week..
Very pretty butterflies and I love water lilies! I grew one in a pot one year and it bloomed and bloomed. I love the color of that barn - such a pretty shade of blue. Hope you have a nice start to your week, Eileen! x
It is good news any time anyone has a "year of the Butterfly" ... but it is especially good news for us when it's you and you share them. Thank you!!!
How wonderful to see Monarchs anymore...and that waterlily photo...gorgeous!!!
You are so fortunate to see so many wonderful butterflies.
I like those waterlillies too, they are always nice to see on a pond.
I hope the new week has started well for you.
All the best Jan

I always enjoy your wildlife photos and farm/barn photos. Great photos of the butterflies. We see an occasional monarch as it flits through the yard on it's way to Else Where. Enjoy your week.
lovely to see so many butterflies, not many here this summer
Dear Eileen! Your photos are so enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.
Love the butterflies. It's a pity you only get to see a lot of them in butterfly habitat.
Worth a Thousand Words
Beautiful post Eileen....thank you!
Happy Tuesday!

i need to email you ... hope i can find your email address ... got a few book related ???'s ... love your shots ... butterflies are so my fave. have a great week, Eileen!! you take care & have a ball in all you do. ( :
Your butterfly photos are beautiful! I wish you could see the butterfly garden at our grandchildren's school!
That's a beautiful place, Eileen! Thanks for bringing us together.
Oh, how I love butterflies! However, I do not have patience to photograph them. I am glad you were able to capture them.
as for the butterflies, it has been the opposite for me. BUT we went to a butterfly conservatory in canada, 2000+ butterflies, that made up for it.
gorgeous captures and mosaics, i think the monarchs are migrating now!!!
Hi Eileen, Your butterfly photos are excellent. Another fine post here. I wanted to thank you for your kind words about my post re the cruise up to Alaska. I appreciated that! I hope you and your husband will consider another cruise to Alaska ... each one is different and special in its own way. Have a fine week ahead!
A splendid series of nature photos again Eileen. Thanks for sharing them and have a great week :)
As I've said before, you're the butterfly whisperer! I love the little turtle sunning itself.
Suas fotos são maravilhosas. A natureza é uma grande benção.
Eu adoro foto de celeiros e esse ta lindo. Parabéns. Gostei muito de passar aqui.
Um abraço!
Hello from Greece. I see you're still having some rewarding walks Eileen. Enjoy the rest of your week. Phil.
Super butterfly pics
Oh, so much to enjoy!
Dearest Eileen; Wow, your Swallowtail butterflies in the collage and with flowers are magnificent♫♫♫ I still regret that I didn't have camera the day before yesterday. We are in the grave yard visiting week in Japan called ohigan. While approaching, I found very rare butterfly on the beautiful flower alongside the river bank(^^;)
I love the waterlines as well, they are beautiful on the rainy season around June here.
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Good morning Eileen, thank you for such joyous views! Enjoy your day and the first day of autumn!
You saw one more monarch than I did. It was a disappointment to me..... lovely photos Eileen... Michelle
