Berry Picking Turned Nature Walk

 This sent me running breathless to the house for the camera.  We had just finished picking some black berries (otherwise known as blackcaps in my childhood) when we bumped into this beauty.  We quickly filled a cup with berries for cranky Brie so I could run back to the house without her screaming.

 Mia trying to help Brie through her crying...She loves the berries but does not enjoy being put down on the scratchy, sunny pathway to our creek.

Update: We think the butterly is actually a moth...
