I couldn't pass up the amazing weather, so I made sure to sneak away to the local park in between classes today. :D After about an hour I wasn't feeling so well so I had to cut my detour short.....still managed to get some shots I like though!

Will add, I have never seen so MANY tiger beetles in one area. I saw 200-300 in a very small region!

Oh, they were hard to approach! These were the only two that let me get close (and were not on the ugly side walk).
