Madison, WI

Started walk 6:30 a.m.

The second longest day of the year was as sunny and warm as the first.

I had never noticed the milkweed flower before today. The leaves on the plant that I photographed were being eaten by bugs.

I later learned in my Peterson's Guide  that the milkweed is a favorite of Monarch larve that feed on the noxious leaves to gain immunity from bird predators.

Coffee--Costa Rican--OK--Much better than yesterday but that's not saying much.
