  • Junonia coenia

    It is not often that I get this close to a butterfly that actually sits still long enough for me to get a good clear shot. But this Common Buckeye butterfly (Junonia coenia) fairly posed for me. I didn't know what kind it was until I got this picture and then went to the Butterfly and Moths of  North America Gallery to identify it. You have to wade through a lot of pictures, but it is satisfying to finally find a photo that matches.

    I'm doing much better today. I actually was able to work outside in the garden most of the morning. I see my doctor tomorrow to follow up after the visit to the ER. I'm still taking the Antivert for dizziness, but until today I doubted that it was doing much. Now it is pretty much keeping me dizzy free. I'm much more hopeful today than I was yesterday that I can get back to my normal life.

    Avoid using the cellphone or wireless phone, as it may trigger an occurrence.
