The Chrysanthemums were a little past their prime but these butterflies and other insects didn’t care.
This garden has a path around the perimeter that winds up a hill to what was a farm. Passing by a foot or so below this garden bed made the butterfly action easier to see and photograph.

Very nice! What a treat to see a buckeye, I’ve never seen one here.
Thanks! I hadn’t noticed them here, either, but will be on the lookout next year.
That is certainly a Painted Lady you got there, Ellen. We have them here too, although I did not see any this past summer. Lovely photos!
Thanks for the confirmation, Pete.
