So beautiful Laura, reminds me of a quote from Nathaniel Hawthorne ~ “Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.” So glad to know that you found joy watching this beauty. #10274774

Hi Bobby Ray, Monnie, Jeff, Rey and Sherran! Thank you so much. I am new to the butterfly thing... :) My very first entry on BP was one but I usually don't have much luck. This time I just stood there and waited for one to land. (I was in a place where they are in abundance!!!)

I will try and visit you all during the week. I appreciate the visits a lot!
