Adorable blue butterflies lapping up moist minerals next to the Current River. Bug ID is not my forte but they look like Eastern tailed-blues.  Let me know if you have a different suggestion.

A swarm of butterflies is also known as a kaleidoscope or flutter. Who knew?

Family: Lycaenidae. 2013.

Saturday was the actual reunion at Round Spring, so I had to take my yearly photo of the spring. It seems much more blue than usual, possibly because of the heavy rains and flooding this spring. This year I climbed down the path to the spring itself (It can be seen on the right in the first pic), which I had never done. It gave me a new perspective and I found things I hadn't seen before, like the small cave up on the hill and a depth gauge hidden in plain sight (It must have been there a long time, the numbers were unreadable). This path also gave me a view of the cave to the Spring Branch, which is the darker cliff in the pictures. The spring itself is a collapsed room of an old cave, so the water comes up in this sinkhole and then goes back underground for a few feet to reach the Spring Branch (The second-to-last pic is the branch coming out). The viewing platform is on top of this cave remnant, making it impossible to see from above.

Hey, I’m only a week late finishing up my vacation photos. That’s not so bad, right?

Here’s all the little friends I found this year, mostly moths and other insects this time. I didn’t try to get a picture of the skunk.

I’m surprised I only caught one crawdad this year. Maybe the floods washed them all away.
