I visited a favorite trail in the Acadiana Nature Park this afternoon.
Clouds had me worried, but intermittent sun did spark butterfly activity
along the trail. I was treated to a new butterfly and in a big way. After
the excitement of my first Texan Crescent, I realized there were a few
more. Most of them were in fresh condition and I ended up with 14 along the
1 mile trail. The trail is dappled light through the high canopy of old
hardwoods. I put a few photos up:
