the show was amazing. They're always amazing. I saw 'em twice a few years back. He and his band haven't lost the skills at all. What would garage punk be without ?
For the Memorial Day weekend, I took a trip to Montpelier, Vermont. The weather was uncooperative for the most part so while I didn't get the roll of the dice for capturing scenics, there are always alternatives to landscapes for the nature photographer...you just point the camera down.
I'm glad this image turned out OK. This butterfly was in a fragile bog and I couldn't get closer to the subject without my big feet wrecking the ground cover, so I used my rather awful 75-300 lens to get close enough that I could capture a decent shot.
Funny name for this butterfly...question mark. The reason for the name is on the underside of the wings there is a white marking that resembles a question mark.
This is the first time I've seen this species (or I just never paid attention if I've seen it before.)
My first butterfly of 2010.
He was very shy. Each time I snuck up on him he flew off. I will get some better shots but I always glory in the first butterfly of the year.

Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis) butterfly seen in the trail of the Stephen J. Youg Marsh in the Missisquoi NWR in Swanton, VT.
The Question Mark butterfly. This butterfly gets its name from the stylized white mark, which to me looks more like a sickle than a question mark. There being no hammer, it would've been better in my opinion to have named it the Half-Communist butterfly. Perched on a chard leaf, in our Austin, Texas garden.
When I first got a glimpse of a butterfly in mid March I thought it had to be a Mourning Cloak that I know overwinter over here, but as it sat down and gave me a better look specially at its underside I realized it was a Question Mark! I didn't realize that some of them overwintered this far North.
This is a male looking for a female to mate with at the Laurie Lawson Outdoor Education Centre..
