There doesn't seem to be an official Top Five event for 2023, but it's Gray-Card Memorial Top Five season anyway.

Since there are no rules, not that there were many rules before, I'm doing two sets this year. These are five of my favorite photos from around home (Cochise County, Arizona) that were posted in 2023.

Tailed Orange (I think) with rabbitbrush

Black swallowtail caterpillar

Orb weaver and marigold

Happy new year, all, and good wishes for 2024.
