Butterflies at Terrapin Nature Park.

I took a couple of pictures at Sandy Point, but they’re so blah I’m not even editing them.

Terrapin had the usual suspects, with a nice crop of butterflies. Graeme, Diana and I spent some time on camera technique and got a few decent pics before the heat and humidity drove us out.
