Description

Each year when the swallowtails come to my garden the little girl in me comes out. The excitement I feel while watching this beautiful butterfly flutter from one flower to the next fills my heart and spirit with joy.
”Just living is not enough," said the butterfly, "one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower." ~Hans Christian Andersen
