I am enjoying your lists
so very much...how wonderful
everyone is doing!!!  We have
"relocated" to the high desert...
and I promise, the ONLY thing
I have seen that even looks
like a butterfly is an
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail.
What is it doing in the Mojave
desert...did it follow us here?

At least, there are hummingbirds.
Lots and lots and lots of hummingbirds.

in good standing of the
Connecticut Butterfly Association,
but don't look for me on the
field trips.) ;-)
