A lovely 80 degree afternoon in Williamstown, where I wandered around the meadow loop at Mountain Meadow for about two hours. There was lots of activity today, so it was difficult to manage a photo of everything and with so few individuals sitting still. The meadow was mowed very late this Spring (May 26th), so it was encouraging to see good numbers of butterflies here today.
