169, 170, 171: Labor day weekend pics

It's late so I'm going to group these three together... maybe I'll break them up tomorrow into three separate posts, but for now I just need to get them uploaded before midnight!

The first shot is of the little purple flowers... just really love the purple and yellow against the green.

The second one is the a cosmo bud against the dingy yellow of our lawn, which I'm really enjoying as a nice neutral backdrop!

And lastly, one of a butterfly on one of the cosmos. I wish I had been at a better angle to shoot it when it landed, but I was too afraid to move and scare it away! Still think I managed to get some detail of its wings though...
