The omicron variant has (we hope) peaked here, and the numbers of cases in my town are down by almost half. We are spending our time doing volunteer work outdoors for our naturalist group, and, happily, I spotted three new butterflies. I got in a good bit of reading, too, including the spectacular Oh William!

I’m impressed on the head start you have with your challenges!
ReplyDeleteI would have thought it would be too cold for butterflies yet.
Wishing you a great reading week
I love all your butterflies but especially the Red-banded Hairstreak. I've never seen one like that before.
ReplyDeleteOmicron is still spreading wildly around here. I'm glad your area has peaked already.
I own Atlas Obscura and brought it with us on our travels. They share Instagram posts from Gastro Obscura frequently. I'm not a foodie but my husband would be interested in that version.
Enjoy your week!
