Walk the Property and Enjoy Creation Today while walking on the property I took notice of a few items. 1. #southernliveoak Oak Nuts/Acorns. Southern Live Oak acorns are a very good source of carbohydrates, protein and fiber. Southern Live Oak acorns are high in tannins, particularly prior to being leached. 2. One of many mushrooms on the property. Not sure of name 3. #holybasil 4. #moranga plant 5. Two-barred Flasher #astraptesfulgerator 6. #junoniacoenia , known as the common buckeye or #buckeyebutterfly , is a butterfly in the family #nymphalidae .

I just realised that I hadn't taken any photos of these gorgeous butterfly pins I got from @fauxfoxstudio's Kickstarter. 😍 I got the Common Buckeye (#JunoniaCoenia), Giant Blue Swallowtail (#PapilioZalmoxis), and a Dead Leaf Butterfly (#KallimaInachus), plus an extra mini pin. 🦋 They look really good together, don't they? https://www.instagram.com/p/BxPdg_KHyKY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=msaeudygk73f
