We are back in Ohio and went for a hike as soon as we could. We were greated by a number of Viceroy Butterflies. It was so wonderrful to see them. It was the first we have seen this season.

I have addresssed the confusion between the Viceroy and the Monarch in the past so I am not going to go there today. Click here to see that post.

Happy Spring 🤣

What a surprise. Last week on one of our hikes we were shocked to see this Orange Sulphur Butterfly. The weather was mild, but not super warm. This was a total surprise. Happy Spring? I so wish.

One Last Time

I have a feeling this is the last photo I capture of a Cabbage White Butterfly in 2020. The weather is too cold for them to hang around. So, this is likely the last of the these amazing butterflies in 2020. It’s cold outside.

I have a few other butterfly photos to share but its time to move on.

I Got It

I have to share a quick story. We were hiking near the Stillwater River when we saw this Silver-spotted Skipper flying near us. I tried for a long time to capture a photo of this beautiful butterfly, but no luck. I guess it was not my day.

As we walked the trail, Teresa walks up behind me and says casually, “I got it”. And she did. Good photo Teresa. She always has my back.
