Thistles, both New Mexico and Arizona varieties abound in Garden Canyon. They are a favorite of butterflies. And, because they have such bright wonderful color, make great photographs. Here are some of the butterflies I have photographed in Garden Canyon: First, sulphurs, maybe Southern Dogface (the darker one) and Cloudless or Clouded, can't really tell. Second, a Giant Swallowtail. Third, Viceroy. And, fourth Dull Firetip. Between butterflies and wildflowers, there always seems to be something to photograph if I am not finding large mammals or rare birds.
