August 5, morning

 

  From Gordon Hart:

 

Just a reminder for the VNHS monthly Butterfly Walk this Sunday, August 6.  We will meet at Mt Tolmie at 1 p.m. You can park at the main parking lot north of the summit, or in the lot by the reservoir where we will have an initial look for butterflies and then decide where to go from there.
Hope to see you Sunday!

 

Gordon also sends a photograph of a Pine White from the Highlands District, August 1.
