This is my third butterfly gallery. 2024 was a very bad year around here for butterfly activity. The population was extremely low. People in the know thought it was due to a drought in Texas which didn’t allow for food sources. And therefore, butterflies didn’t migrate very far north. Hopefully 2025 will be a banner year. Be sure to check back later. Also check out the previous galleries on the menu above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m no longer offering prints for sale. If you\u2019d like to a high resolution image for your personal or business use, please contact me. It\u2019s very affordable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m also available for workshops and presentations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
