Once again, we had a lot of butterflies feasting! Got a few different ones this time. My daughter caught a Monarch - she let it go after a short while.

You're very lucky to have so many different butterflies visiting you. Very Happy I really like photo no. 4, and the last but one. That smile is priceless.

You got some great shots WTxD. You are lucky to have so many different ones. They are gone from here now. I don't get many butterfly pics, they are too fast for me. Your DD is so sweet, what a smile! Thanks for sharing.
