Sweet! It's been a good year for butterflies here, more varieties and more swallowtails.

Made everyone wait in the car while I jumped out and took a pic.<br /><br />Cutie pie butterfly. As a child, every summer brought the Monarch butterflies, but now years can go by without me seeing one. Sigh. Their numbers are declining but I can't remember why. <br /><br />Hope you are resting well tonight.<br />:) m & jb (of course)<br /><br />Maureen @ Josephina Ballerinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026799070718705353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-90452156227105937842014-07-23T00:07:47.379+01:002014-07-23T00:07:47.379+01:00Pretty butterfly....
