Monarch Butterfly
From my visit yesterday to the Conrad Station Savanna nature preserve which was acquired in 1998 and is manage by the Nature Conservancy.
What attracted me to this was there was suppose to be some remnants of the abandoned town of Conrad, Indiana which was originally platted in 1904 scattered through out the preserve and I thought some cool photo ops LOL. Well I didn’t find any but lots of butterfly’s LOL, but then again I didn’t explore the whole preserve.
Conrad Station Savanna, Newton County, Indiana August 2008.
