My Walk Today

I walked with Jean 3 miles today on "our path" that runs along Clear Creek. Jean sniffed many things of interest and I spied many birds and butterflies. The highlights? For Jean it was time spent in the creek (he loves to lie in the water) and sniffing out a woodchuck. For me it was seeing two male Indigo Buntings. I haven't seen since I snapped that photo over a month ago. While I was viewing the Buntings, I had a guest on my arm; a butterfly! It landed on my arm as we were walking and traveled with us for about ½ mile! It apparently found something it liked (it was a hot morning in the sun and I was perspiring). It was the most incredible feeling to have such a delicate creature on my arm for such a long time.
