Hi Jason -

Where do you normally shoot from in the Mojave?  I seem to remember you're
up near China Lake, right?

The butterflies were everywhere.  Really cool!

with how dark the skies can get.  I was out testing a friend's new 20D the
same night (I think) you were out and noticed the zodiacal band was really
bright and went up overhead.  Very neat to see....it was the first time I
had witnessed it but I knew right away what it had to be.

around Mar. 26th and our windshield committed an uncountable number of
butterfly murders while driving through the desert.  My wife didn't think it
was very funny when I turned on the wipers once along the way.
