Butterfly tagging on September 11, 2001

When serious events happen, we often remember what we're doing and where we were when they occurred. September 11th, 2001, was one of those days. I was doing a photo shoot for a biologist friend who was tagging butterflies in Southern New Hampshire. This shot, taken on that date, shows him placing a tag on a monarch butterfly prior to it making its migration. I remember that tragic day like it was yesterday even though it was 23 years ago.
