This butterfly does not require a plastic straw. It comes with its own angled proboscis to suck up some nectar. A Red Admiral Butterfly.

Night Shot
Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE)

It was not a great shot like you are used to seeing by now but at least I caught it before it left after many cloudy nights. I was happy to get it no matter the quality.
I could not find it over our light-polluted city but after taking some wider shots I found it and closed in to try to get a better image. This is about the best I could do.

Cupcakes That Trigger Minor Guilt

Saturday Self-challenge: Guilty Pleasures
I have two guilty pleasures to reference this week. TV and food.
I have to confess that one of our guilty pleasures is watching the Great British Bake Off. We have followed a few seasons since discovering it on TV. We even have a Canadian version of the show. www.cbc.ca/life/greatcanadianbakingshow
These cupcakes are made by a friend in Calgary and she drops some off when she comes up for a visit. She is particularly skilled at homemade gluten-free items. These are the cupcakes she makes for me, as my wife gets all the gluten-free stuff, which is excellent. These cupcakes have cream cheese, chocolate chunks, and pieces of Carmine Jewel cherries she harvests from her friend's yard. We always feel special which overcomes the guilt.
