We headed East this weekend to the White Mountains, hoping to see some rain.  It looked promising for a while, but the sun was with us every day.  Summer was showing her colors in Greer on Saturday.  The Little Colorado River was in full bloom, and there were dozens of butterflies and moths enjoying the day as well.
