Yesterday I met the family for a wonderful evening at Misquamicut State Beach in Rhode Island. The surf was too rough for me to jump all the way in, but I enjoyed running around in the waves with my grand nephew. The water was warmer than the air! It felt wonderful.

Today I went out for another lunch walk.  Yes, my young Cooper's hawks are definitely gone. I did get to walk for a short while with a lovely eastern tiger swallowtail just slightly ahead of me.

My walking partner was golden yellow!  Such a lovely creature. Thank you for walking with me.
