My granddaughter Stasia's in residence this week—school vacation—and we finally got in our obligatory hike up Lantern Hill, which, on the way up included great looks at Trailing Arbutus wildflowers and, at the top, close views of Black Vultures, uncommon raptors that put on an uncommonly good show. The best sighting, I think, was a tiny little butterfly. It turned out to be an Eastern Pine Elfin, and as it stood still enough for Stasia to get a great view—and me to capture a fine macro shot—she definitely agreed with the guidebook assessment that it was "stunning." It's easy to see why.
