Nope. This isn’t science fiction; no dystopian future. This is here… now. I’m past opining, but willing to converse on any subject that improves lives. #Volcanology, #Petrology, #SW #Engineer, #System Architect, and #SciFi #writer; I really dig #butterflies. Especially the tiny ones. Walker in the Rain. #CowboyBebop

I'm not the biggest Linux fan but I'm thinking about getting a separate laptop with Linux on it just to avoid all of this

@BlackAzizAnansi Not a bad plan actually. The apps basically look the same.

Back to Daley Ranch and adjacent Dixon Lake. Good sun, and the were flying. Still not getting the specie variation I hoped for. Not pictured: Any Whites. They were out, of course.

Buckeye in flight. There were tons of Buckeyes today.
Gray Hairstreak, hidden in foliage. There were lots of Grays too! Two generations of them.
Metalmark on Broom. My one Metalmark for the day but I’m sure there were more.

Gen 1 & 2 of the Gray Hairstreak today. Multiple individuals of each.

Generation 2 Hairstreak looking more colorful and energetic.

@ELS That was a terrible shot, but at least my eyes were in focus. Blues of all kinds are my obsession. Blues and Hairstreaks. My favorite shots from last year.

Some nice observations of during an excursion to Orange County today. “Vanilla” species.

This Tiger Swallowtail dances around what appears to be Lantana blossoms.
Monarch floats over Milkweed.

@Pollinators Just a personal observation, there’s been a huge crash in numbers in the last decade, due to aggressive landscape maintenance practices following the big fires here in California. I suspect the insurance industry is largely to blame for that.
