We haven’t spent much time in Louisiana.

 

 

Basically, we’ve just driven through it on Interstate 10.  We’re here to spend more time in it.

 

 

 

 

Scored a nice campsite.

 

 

 

 

We’re practically the only ones here.

Time for a getaway

 

We don’t have anything to getaway from, but here we go nonetheless.

 

Goose Island State Park.

Didn’t remember to take the picture until late.

 

Bonus.  A little green treefrog camped out in the electrical box.         

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On our last trip to Colorado

 

 

Picked up some cool merch.

 

Taylor Roth coffee mugs.

 

 

And stickers.

Butterflies

 

 

Queens.

 

 

Smaller cousins of Monarchs.

 

 

Monarchs pass through during migration.  Queens are more stationary tropicals.  We’re at the north end of their range, so we get to see them year-round.

 

 

 

This one is different.

 

 

It’s a White Peacock.

 

 

Like the Queen, it’s a tropical butterfly and non-migratory.  The Queens will all gather together to feed.  The White Peacock is more territorial, and is more likely to be seen solo.
