    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. :D I really like photo no. 4, and the last but one. That smile is priceless.

    More great shots of some lovely butterflies. It's way too cold and windy here for any to visit my garden now. :(

    I just love to watch butterflies here flitting on my bushes and flowers. You have some really nice pictures and some nice species of butterflies coming to visit you.

    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.
