Butterfly Day at the Arboretum

Every time we go to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum it is a different experience, and that is why we love it so much!  This time it seemed like it was all about the butterflies.  We have had a lot of them this year, even in the city, but it was fun to see so many at a time.  Most of them were too fast for me, but I manages to get a few pictures.

A gypsum weed bud.  So unique and pretty. 

A pretty red dragonfly. 

It is rare to see the desert so green, even in the spring! So glad we were able to get out and enjoy it!
