Butterflies and Wildflowers and Smiles....at the Indiana Dunes

The weather was great; a little cool until you start walking up the steeper dunes; nothing like a walk up a dune to warm you up. The sky was amazingly blue.

The lupines are blooming. The woods were full of the purplish blue blossoms.

The berries are promising their summer fruit; big, white blackberry blossoms and the tiny, pink barely there blossoms of the wild blueberry.

Hundreds of butterflies flitted through the flowers. The few visitors out for a wander through the dunes all wore bright smiles that rivaled the sunshine....an afternoon at the Indiana Dunes.
