Second Spring 2013, Part 2

Of course "Spring," whether it is early in the year or the second Spring of Autumn, is about more than just the vegetation:

Continuing along the trail:

• The first two photos are Four-O'Clocks. These flowers get their name from the fact that they open late in the afternoon. The White Four-O'Clock flowers can actually range from white through pink and red to violet. All of them I have seen in Bexar County are dark pink to light red.
• The third and fourth photos are a Dun Skipper butterfly on a Tievine flower. Apparently, the Dun Skipper is only attracted to flowers that are white, pink or purple.
• The last two photos are of a Blue-ringed Dancer (Argia Sedula) damselfly.

This set of photographs was taken on the Yanaguana Nature Trail at Mission San Juan in the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park on Thusday, October 17, 2013.
