Sunny and 65 degrees. One of the painted ladies landed on some chrysanthemums. During the next 10 minutes or so, she made her way down into the inside of the plant, almost to the ground. Interesting to watch. The other highlight of the day were several large groups of cedar waxwings which were frequenting crabapple trees and eating berries.
