Mostly sunny day with highs near 70. It's an awesome day to take a break from work and get out an enjoy. Again, because of the virus, the canyons here in the Valley are not an option for me. :( (Maybe when people go back to work.....)
So heading up to Lambs Canyon road again. A little over a week ago, saw a number of Mourning Cloaks and Commas. A couple days ago, because of colder temperatures and snow, I didn't see any. Today, I'm armed with my camera so I'm hoping for butterflies!!!
Many more plants peeking out from the soil.
Not far up the road, I see my 1st Mourning Cloak of the day!
Unfortunately, my camera won't take a picture....ah, there it goes.
The snow continues to melt from the road. Spots covered in snow a few days ago are just a wet patches on the asphalt and in other places, well, there's still snow but it's a bit less thick.
I see another butterfly and a whole bunch of those tiny orange moths. My camera is not working; it says Memory Card Error. That can't be good. Guess it's back to the camera phone which doesn't work so well on butterflies. :(
The butterfly is a CA Tortoiseshell. 1st of the year!!
I continue on to the trail head. There butterflies out but just not nearly as many as 1.5 weeks ago.
I find a couple of Satyr Commas in a muddy patch near the parking.
Definitely not as many flyers as I hope but still nice to get out in the fresh air, sunshine and walk along a flowing creek.
