    Lucky! Great photo. Looking forward to seeing butterflies up here too. Shouldn’t be too long now, our snow is melting rather quickly. At least it was until a couple of days ago. Give that lovely wife of yours a hug for me will ya?

    Hi Aaron – nice find with the Milbert’s – I had no idea they made it to Alaska. I’ve seen them in Vermont and Colorado.

    That wasn’t meant to be anonymous – I have this figured out now.
