I want to touch one of them! Probably wouldn't be very well received. 🥴

It's nice to have a quiet place to go.

No one wins here.

Pretty. The pattern is very interesting.

Gorgeous but it looks like a moth.

All of the butterflies have been so wonderful. Thank you.

Such a pretty, understated butterfly.

Stunning critters. I got to see them when I was in Costa Rica, many years ago. The camouflage, when their wings are closed, is a phenomenal contrast.

Wonderful! I want to go there. Do you have room in your tent for a strange old lady?

It's so beautiful. The wafting steam from the coffee and the beautiful flipping flowers falling into place.It's all just so lovely. Thank you for sharing.

Truth. 😃

I hope Iran won't stoop so low as to give our P.O.S.-in-Chief that good a deal.

A medium-sized, black and orange butterfly is posing on a yellow flower. This is a Baltimore Checkerspot, a member of the Brushfoot family found near wet meadows or on old fields in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. They are not a common butterfly in our region. There are only 26 iNaturalist observations of this butterfly in the Adirondack Park. For comparison, there are nearly a thousand observations of the Monarch and nearly 800 observations of the White Admiral within Park boundaries.

Video ‘They didn’t even know what we did’: Former official on DOGE cuts that gutted USAID | Whistleblower Aid Congratulations to our client Nicholas Enrich on the publication of his new book, "Into the Wood Chipper"! In this interview with ABC News, Enrich, a former USAID Acting Assistant Administrator of Global Health, describes finally getting a chance to explain the 60-year-old agency's health work the day *after* his team was let go. “I just gave a high-level overview,” Enrich says. The top brass, he discovered, didn’t know what USAID did. “‘These are the infectious diseases we work on. Here's what we do in maternal and child health…’" he says he explained. "And the chief of staff looks at...

"I had no idea that USAID did this kind of work," USAID's chief of staff told our client, former USAID Global Health chief Nicholas Enrich, as he described the agency's life-saving programs. "I just assumed it was just abortions." Which USAID never funded. More:
