2025 August 2 morning
Although there seem to be very few butterflies around now, apart from Cabbage Whites, yesterday Wendy Ansell saw a Lorquin’s Admiral in Saanich, and Jeremy Tatum saw a single Woodland Skipper on Carey Road on a Lavendar patch on which in most years there are usually dozens there.
If there are few butterflies, however, there are lots of other creatures that Ian Cooper is photographing. Those below are from his Aug 01 2025 photo shoot in *Colquitz River Park in Saanich and the #Galloping Goose Trail in View Royal.
