Finally .. A Hike

We have not been able to hike as much as we like for the last couple of weeks. It started with a high school reunion, then we drove to Utah to see family and pick up our puppy. What is the best way to fix this? Take a hike.

I have to say, I think we saw more Monarch Butterflies this weekend then we have seen for a long time. The colors of nature will always move me ... and this photo is no exception. It's fall my friends .. get out and enjoy it!

Checkered-skipper

Teresa captured this photo of this Common Checkered-skipper on a hike this week. I have never photographed a checkered-skiipper before. Interesting find.

The Details Of The Swallowtail

This is a Pipevine Swallowtail. I love the colors of swallowtail butterflies. The details make it so special.

Yes, Orange 🤔

Of all the sulphur butterflies, I think the Orange Sulphur is my favorite. They are so bright and really stand out. If you see a yellow butterfly in your yard, watch for the bright orange version. They are gorgeous.

Small And Beautiful

This is a very small butterfly. It is a Gram Blue. It reminds me of anotehr small butterfly that we have photographed many times: the Azure. Such a beautiful butterfly.
