I did a 5 mile run today at 6 pm when the sun wasn't beating down so much. Went down Dickcissel Road which is still closed off to traffic. The corn is browning and the late summer wildflowers like Sicklepod and Camphorweed are taking over. The dirt road is growing over with plants and some wildflowers which attracts a lot of Butterflies. I don't think I've seen as many butterflies on this road before. There were many different kinds of Sulphur plus Buckeyes and Red Admirals. It seems when you let nature take back over even a little bit, you get a burst of life and variety. Wish the Butterflies stayed still long enough for me to get their pictures. May go back with my telephoto. Did a decent time for 98 humid degrees. 51:45 at 10:26 per mile.
