A spotted a tiny butterfly no bigger than a dime. I think it's a Summer Azure. I'm also wondering if the red dragonfly is a Ruby Meadowhawk. Also, some odd-looking blooms from Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis). A tiny leaf fell onto the pond surrounded by duckweed.

Love them!! Too windy and too sleepy to go out today.

Likely a ruby meadowhawk as the legs look darker. However it is hard to distinguish from the white-faced or autumn meadowhawks without a front-on view of the face.
