Zilker Park Gardens - 08-21-2011, 08:06 PM

Critique: CC:

Hot today in Austin TX but had to make a trip by Zilker Park since I haven't been in a while. The good thing about the heat is that there weren't a lot of people there; just about had the place to myself.

#1 Eastern amberwing in the moonpool

#2 Rambur's forktail

#3 Checkered setwing female, I think, obelisking

#4 Very prettily colored double-ringed pennant -Celithemis verna

#5 Wouldn't be a trip to Zilker Park without an attempt to do a lotus blossum justice
