"Aren't I lovely?"
Aug. 13th, 2010 11:15 amI got up this morning to find a monarch butterfly drinking from my butterfly bush "Petite Plum." So far we've had nothing but boring (but cute) little butterflies, so I was excited about this one.
It was ever so patient about me taking its picture, even stretching its wings out so I could get a better look. I wonder if that bird I freed from the window earlier this week told the butterfly that I was kind to wild creatures...
