Jonny, nice ones, there. The butterfly is a northern crescent. I don't think the purple flower is a harebell, however. Harebell are more delicate and grow on stalks as thin as grass, with very fine small leaves. Whatever it is, it's darn pretty.

And thanks, Meat-Run.

thanks all!...Steve,I'm not sure at all what that blue flower is but thougt it might be a harebell...."googled" blue flowers and maybe it's in the ballon /bellflower family...similar in appearance ...not sure what it is...grows in the wild but could be a tame ,european thing from years ago thas gone wild...

The nearest thing I can find to the blue flower in my Wildflowers of Minnesota field guide is the Creeping Bellflower. It says that they almost always point downward so I am not sure, but that would be my guess.
