Such a pretty butterfly. It must be the day as I got two great shots of butterflies today.
That’s exciting, Judy. I’m not seeing many butterflies but a few here and there.
Love it, have you read about their migration in Europe?? It’s fantastic…
Haven’t heard about that but will track it down. Thanks.

Thanks Daphne!
They’re beautiful. We had thousands of these butterflies move through our area last year as a result of the desert superbloom but we haven’t seen many at all this year.
Kris, I thought I remembered you seeing some last year but I forgot just how many. That must have been amazing.
