2019 August 18 evening

 

   It seems that this morning’s Invert Alert went without problems, so please let us all cross our fingers and assume that Invertebrate Alert is now back to normal, at least until the computer system again thinks incorrectly that a photograph contains malware.  So carry on as before the computer glitch.  To those who sent photographs last week that were never posted, and you would like to see them posted, please re-send them, together with the where and the when.  In the meantime, to start us off again here are a couple of my own recent photographs.    The first is from my apartment building in Saanich.  The second was from Swan Lake.

  Gerry and Wendy Ansell report that they saw a Lorquin’s Admiral today at Swan Lake, and Jeremy Tatum saw one at Royal Roads University.  In the evening at 6:00 pm there were three Painted Ladies on the top of Mount Tolmie – one on the reservoir, two near the Jeffery Pine
