Sometimes the pictures just present themselves and I don’t even have to leave the front steps! On this day last summer, a huge butterfly came to visit me as I headed out the door to do my chores…

I didn’t even have my camera with me when I first spotted it, and was pleasantly surprised it was still there when I came back with one…

I spent the next ten minutes or so completely distracted, just watching and marveling at the beauty literally right outside my door. Which gave the girls more time to lay a couple more eggs for me so that was a bonus. 😄
