Description


He looks so sweet and innocent peeking at me from behind the pole, doesn't he?? But what he's actually up to is readying himself to launch off the pole and take flying leaps onto unsuspecting butterflies down on the flowers below....Lots of mistimed leaps while I watched - he never got a lucky lunch...
