…destroying democracy and pillaging America.
The people put an enemy in charge.

I’m going to feel like a big fat Black Swallowtail caterpillar after Thanksgiving dinner.

The Orange Sulphur butterfly has a Thanksgiving cooking tip for you.
Be sure to cut those Brussels Sprouts in half or shred them to release the bad tasting Sulfur. I prefer the shredded hash method with some shallots and finished with some pomegranate seeds.

Happy Thanksgiving to each of you and your loved ones. Extending well wishes to our foreign friends as well. I’m thankful for you.
Trying to be organized on the meal prep with a list for a change. Duck goes on first to go very low and slow to render out that duck fat to get a nice crispy skin.

The Black Swallowtail was prolific this year. I took almost 1,700 photos of them.
To distinguish sex, the male has a bold 2nd row of yellow, and the female usually has more blue on her hindwings. 🖤💛💙🧡
Photo order: Male, Female, Caterpillar

I snapped 1,086 Monarch photos in 2025, about 400 more than last year. Don’t confuse photos with population levels. It’s not a scientific survey. I would say that I simply got more carried away this year. 😁
Love this photo from Halloween. 🧡

So exciting and nerve wracking.
Heading home from college.
Our daughter is taking her first Uber alone and then flying alone for the first time today, with a connection through Chicago. I know it is good for her to expand her independence, but I won’t quite relax until we pick her up at midnight.

While not a butterfly (obviously), this photo of a Firefly was one of my favorites this year. I definitely struggled to get the macro lens close enough and in focus for the evening light show. Got lucky on this one.
