Some butterflies on the way to the beach. An Eastern Tiger Swallowtail male (compare to the female from yesterday).
A black morph female on the next stalk over. Too bad Skye wouldn't let me wait for a shot at the upper side.
Still lots of butteflies puddling.
Something different on a lot under the cliff.

We got a lot of shark's teeth today, but mostly small. The chevron on the right is a
Bonnet Ray mouth plate, in better shape than most, with an unusual color and texture. Instead of black and opaque, it was brown and somewhat translucent.
