We were up high in the mountains a week or two ago and much to our surprise there were numerous butterflies going about their business even as the nights have been cold and the flowers have long died out for this season. Must be slim pickings this time of year for this wonderful comma butterfly foraging on Lichen, Rocks and Spruce.
Several shades of gold cascade from high up in the hills deep into the valley below.
Early autumn warmth lingering into the last day of October and not forecast to end. Beautiful days sand brisk cool nights.
