Well, just thought I'd check in again and report that I've had just a few more in the last few weeks. I have finally had one Queen for a few days! Today I've seen a Painted Lady and the Queen and skippers. Yesterday I saw some sort of TINY hairstreak, a blue of some sort. I was excited but it was so small that I coud barely keep up with it. I grabbed my camera but it wasn't the one that takes good macro shots so this is all I got.

Hi Sheila & Tabasco! I have been so busy volunteering (and now working) that I haven't had much time to do anything other than lurk. Today I've been outside pulling up overzealous "verbena-on-a-stick", cutting things back and trying to clean up in hopes of fall butterflies. No pics of my yard until it looks better! eekk!!
