Nature on an August Afternoon

Things I saw while working in my yard this afternoon. (Click on images to enlarge.)


Butterfly drinking nectar from a wildflower, which I can't identify because I haven't received my wildflower identification guide yet.



Dragonfly sunning itself on a dead branch.



Giant mutant wasps Hornets drinking sap from the cut in a girdled elm.



Tower-climbing primate. My initial impression was that he's about 512 feet up, but realistically I suppose it's more like 100 feet.
