It was great going back down to the valley last November. As I get older it becomes more about seeing my butterfly family that I only get to see once a year than the butterflies themselves. Having said that, the butterflies are awesome too! This trip represented a big up tick in species when compared to the last couple of visits (2019,2021). It appears things are slowly recovering from the hard freezes a few years past. Some highlights are shown below.
