Two butterflies enjoying the autumn sun
It's the time of year when the butterflies are fluttering about enjoying the autumn sun on this green, fragrant bush. Does anyone know what it is? I used to think it was a lemon verbena, but it's not - at least it doesn't look like anything I saw on Google Image...but if you brush your hands through the leaves, it smells so much like lemon, I just want to chew on a leaf.
Anyway, this bush was full of butterflies. These two appeared to be mating. The one on the left was fluttering above the one sitting on the flower folded up (right) and would not keep still that I could not get a clear shot as he was constantly in motion.
Does anyone know what they are? They are not Monarchs, nor do they look like the Viceroy (Monarch Imposter) to me according to the photos I have...can anyone tell me, please? They are all over the place every year at this time.
It's going to be hot today!

Don't delete this just because it looks weird. Believe it or not, you can read it.
I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the first and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it wouthit a porbelm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh?
That means most of you probably don't even notice all my typos since all the letters are generally there, just in the worng order - see? Isn't that mazing? For more interesting and enlightening reading, please visit my friend's post here (you won't be sorry you did, promise!):

Moonrise over Lake Irma
Last night was the second time I took Gizzy down to the lake at dusk to watch the full moon rise from behind the trees and see his moonbeams reflecting on the water. It was so beautiful! We're going back tonight. I love to walk home in the dark and see the full moon with the stars above...how romantic - if even just with my dog ;-)
It was such a beautiful and may I say, balmy, evening with a gentle, warm breeze. We were sitting on the park bench looking at the exact view you're seeing here and listening to the crickets and cicadas - AND the birds! They were singing at dusk chirping and whistling, saving their best for last! What a glorious time to be alive!
