Thanks!  I was very lucky in the placement of these little wildflowers and the sun...they were right next to a parking lot and were the only ones I saw during an afternoon of hiking

Thanks!  I was thrilled to find a half dozen butterflies on this little clump of wildflowers - they were the only ones I saw the entire day!!

We are seeing very few butterflies lately. There are still plenty of skippers though.

We've had very few due to lack of rain, sigh...saw more up in the mountains where I got this shot, than I've seen in my garden all summer

We haven't had drought but I still haven't seen many butterflies.  I recently heard that Monarchs are being submitted as an endangered species. Hard to believe, but I do because I've seen fewer and fewer each year.

That isn't good news!  I wonder how the ones on the California coast migration path are doing....

Beautiful shot Ruth!


Ruth, would that" clam shell button" be suitable for posting in "rusty dusty old stuff" just wondering if I should submit it there...

I totally think your button is suitable for RDOS!  I requested it earlier in the day - which I can do from my Nook reader, but couldn't tell you that I had done so until I got on my actual computer
