Butterflies

I saw several beautiful butterflies in Upstate New York this past weekend, where the green of summer is transforming quickly into the red, orange, and yellow of fall. This inspired me to post several random photos I’ve taken of butterflies from my travels to NY, Costa Rica, and Argentina. Enjoy!

In 2007, she co-authored the Frommer's guidebook, "MTV Best of Mexico" (Wiley Publishing, 2007), for which she wrote the Acapulco, Ixtapa, Zihuatanejo, and Taxco chapters.
