Gorgeous image, Valarie! And sounds like your arm is doing well. We're "enjoying" single-digit temps at night, but then it's not all that unusual this time of year up here. #9209858

Simply beautiful Val. Love the softness and the color of the bg to bring out the great detail and color of the butterfly.

April seems so far away with this winter we have been having here on LI, but Im sure it will be here before you know it and your arm will be as good as new.
