Fantastic images. It is amazing at all of the tattered wings that are on the butterflies this time of the year. Some of them have had a very hard time.
I see that your butterflies are looking rather tattered, just like mine. I think they had a long hot summer like the rest of us.
I love the shot of the brick cottage (in the previous post) with the front gardens. Should be on a calender or something. And glad the peony got a new home. The deer don't seem to bother mine...
I never touched a plant till Pat and I moved to Cleveland from Chicago. Our house came with trees and trees and more trees. it also came with overgrown landscaping that hadn't been tended to for 15 years. Pat's always been the gardener. I love hanging out with Pat and I know how to use a shovel. Along the way I discovered a love of gardening. But first, We had to take 12 trees down and 40 dead bushes out. Hosta, ligularia, and sedum are my favorite plants.
Our yard is clay. Clay, clay and more clay. Clay all the way to the center of the earth. The people at the conservation district told us that " we're at the wrong end of the glacier". I nodded the nod of the intimidated and have repeated it ever since. We are true belivers in sweet peet and work in 15 yards every spring. Our back yard faces north and is a good 6 feet lower than the house. Most of the back yard is moist year round. Except for the north east corner, the yard is under shade or partial shade. The front yard is mainly sunny. We are in zone 5b.

I think my black swallowtail must have made it (somehow) to your house! ;-) Fun photos.
