Today's "5" Star photo was taken in 1995 in Jackson Bottom Wetlands in Western Oregon. What I like about it is the colors; the softness of the pastels in the background offset by the yellow flowers and black of the butterfly.

Also, a welcome to new countries now visiting my blog site: Austria, Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Denmark, Hong Kong, Iceland, Peru, Portugal, and Thailand. That brings the number to 70 countries around the world visiting my site. Thank you all!

In addition to the Montezuma Quail, there were hundreds of butterflies. You could put your finger in front of one and let him walk onto your finger. In the first photo you'll see Christine with a butterfly on her shoulder. There probably were other species, but I did get photos of seven different kinds of butterflies.
