There was a 2 day flower display in the streets of the Meatpacking District. It was packed with people. On the second day the displays had less flowers because people took the flowers. It was fun watching all the people taking selfies. I did a fair amount of image enhancement in Photoshop.

Ward Pound Ridge Insects

Our second trip to Ward Pound Ridge was with The Linnaean Society of NY. It was a good trip and even though it was not ide3al weather, cloudy and cool, we saw a number of butterflies. On here – one there. Marc spotted the Checkerspot. The clumsy landing in the series of the black flying soldier beetle amused me. The last photo is by Marc.
