Highlights from the Burnt Lands (part 2)

Delicate blue Harebells seemed to be everywhere. I've also seen this native flower at Carp Ridge, another rocky habitat (but not technically an alvar.) I find it prettier than the more common, invasive Creeping Bellflower, but maybe I'm just prejudiced in favor of the native!
There's something strange about this photo. The garter snake's reflection looks like it's eating something. The snake itself doesn't. At any rate, this guy repeatedly ducked underwater, thrashed about wildly, then emerged and tested the air as if to say, "is she gone yet?"

Odd behaviour for the snake...
I really like the colors in the first two, and the design on the Northern Crescent's wings is neat.

It was odd. I couldn't tell if the thrashing was it trying to subdue some sort of prey (there were a lot of frogs in that puddle...) or just an attempt to confuse me.
