Sierra Nevada Nature 2006

From June 24 to July 3 twelve of us from the Massachusetts Butterfly Club went to the Sierra Nevadas and surrounding areas in California and Nevada to take a week long butterfly course and field trips with Paul Opler and Evi Buckner-Opler. Paul is one of the foremost authorities on butterflies in North America, and his wife Evi is an outstanding nature photographer, and a great organizer.
This gallery will have a good assortment of most of the things in nature we observed, and a few of the other participants.
