The Mountain Laurels, which put on a magnificent show in my backyard about a week ago, seemed to be finished for the year... but then I trekked to the Bell Cedar Swamp preserve and discovered that a new extravaganza had just begun. In fact, the Laurel show at Bell was one of the best I've ever seen. An American Lady butterfly, this one giving me a fine view of the front of the wings, clearly found the blossoms to its liking.
