| I've been trying to identify some butterflies lately. I used this booklet to identify the following butterfly. They sell these among other guides in the gift shop at the Lodge. Other guides are available for wildflowers, birds and trees. |

| Poor Mandy, lots of cockle burrs today. Her master Roseanne, says she takes many of them off herself. Roseanne also will be giving here a good brushing when they get home. (Maybe that is why she got the burrs in the first place). |
