Had a good hike this afternoon at Almaden Quicksilver. Lots of wildflowers and temps weren’t too hot. Saw a few pollinators too. The blue flowers are called Blue Dicks. Insert juvenile joke here. The white flowers that look like lamps are called Fairy-lanterns (aka globe lilies). The other white flowers are lupins. No idea what kind of butterfly that is.

@TheChrisPaduan Beautiful shots from one of my favorite hiking spots! the butterfly is some type of checkerspot, I'm guessing Chalcedon (variable) checkerspot.
