Chalcedon’s Own Butterfly

Natural Sightings #618 - Chalcedon Checkerspot.JPG

Behold! Imagine our excitement, when us’uns at the Chalcedon Foundation discovered that we have our own butterfly (sort of)–the Chalcedon Checkerspot Butterfly.

This gorgeous photo is by Toshimi Kristoff, recently published by the Tehachapi News.

This morning in New Jersey we have snow and ice piled all over the place, a leaden sky, and a forecast of more snow on the way. So it’s rather refreshing to us, to look at a butterfly!

Today it sure don’t look it, but spring is coming. God has promised it.
