It will take weeks to go through the photos from the family vacation to Ecuador and the Galapagos. I have gone through a lot of the 18,000 photos, deleting them down to 13,000, with more to go.

While this process continues, here are a few of my butterfly photos, from our visit to Mariposas de Mindo in Mindo, Ecuador. Previously I had posted butterfly photos taken by my sons. These are not the only ones that I took, but they are the only ones I’ve currently processed for posting. There will be more.

Click on the photos for a larger version. I suggest doing so to see the detail in the wings.
