Acadia National Park

I really needed to get away after my dog's passing, and after very short notice I took a quick trip to Acadia National Park. Just some time to clear my mind, get use to the new normal and recoup.  It worked.

Everybody says the same thing, Acadia is a special place. The hiking is great, the natural history is incredible and the whole feeling of the island is just sublime.

Yesterday, my best friend and dog passed away at home. I miss her beyond belief, she was a great companion and we shared a lot of really good times together. I feel honored to have had the time with her.
I miss and love you ,Bug.

Butterflies.

American Lady

Monarch
(Danaus plexippus)

Unlike last year's wet summer, this year has been hot and dry. And incredibly rich in the butterfly world.
I haven't been able to continue with the Maine Butterfly Survey, there's been no time.
