I went outside in the nice clean, fresh air and took some more flower pictures. The brown eyed Susans (rudbeckia) are in full bloom now with a little dwarf phlox peeking in on the left side.

I actually took this picture a couple days ago from the kitchen window. It is a little blurry, sorry. I haven't seen very many butterflies so when this one just hopped from flower to flower I had to take a picture.

I planted this ground cover in a little section of my front garden. My landscape contractor up the block tells me this one is invasive. I have seen it move across the space in the last couple years. I think it is really pretty but I'll probably start digging it out little by little.

I have a nice cool spot in the shade of a tree where the pansies are still going strong. They don't like the hot weather so I'm surprised they are still here.
