Natural History Wanderings

I recently did a two-week trip to the Pontic Alps or Kackar Region in Northeastern Turkey at the end of July and beginning of August with Greentours Natural History Holidays and led by Basak Gardner.  It is a region of scenic mountain landscapes with wildflower meadows, butterflies and rural villages.

Here are my best butterfly photos from the  trip:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/sandysteinman/sets/72157635173878223/
