Visitors of all ages participated in a rare regal fritillary butterfly guided tour on Fort Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania (Department of Military and Veterans Affairs photo by Tom Cherry/Released)

I love all of these 6 images. Those 4 butterflies? I was incredulous, near shocked that I would have an opportunity to see them, much less photograph them. 2 taken in the HolyLand (Israel), one in the National Butterfly Center in Mission, Texas and the Pearly Eye Butterfly was discovered in Raccoon Creek State Park in southwestern Pennsylvania.

The field shot was provided to me by a fellow star gazer at Ft. Indiantown Gap in central Pennsylvania. That was a magical day, those Regal Fritillary Butterflies really are real!

Barbara Ann Case A”H (OBM”) was an exceptional, patient orchid expert, and a gifted naturalist. Her passing, and her husband’s death months later, stunned.

With this my last post in wingedbeauty.com, I want to Thank You. I hope our paths cross one day, for that would be incredible. The trails we could work!
