My first visit to Post Oak Park in four years was great, but I had the time and inclination for more. So I headed to The Flower Mound to see what was popping there.
A few Prairie Sunflowers were in bloom right by the entrance.
If you squat down low enough when you shoot the picture, you can't tell that you're right across the street from a residential subdivision. :)
Lots of the wildflowers had already gone to seed, but a few Engelmann's Thistles were still in bloom.
Blooming wildflowers may have been scarce, but there were plenty of butterflies doing the best they could. Like this Fiery Skipper ...
... and a Common Checkered-Skipper ...
... and a Variegated Fritillary ...
... and a tiny Reakirt's Blue.
One last shot of an American Basketflower, and it was time to go. But the butterflies had made it worth the extra stop!
