    Beautiful capture. I was never sure what the proper name of the butterfly was. Thank you for telling us what it is.

    Antonette - I didn't know their name, either, until the local newspaper wrote about them yesterday. Yes, Stacey - the migration was magical. There were dozens fluttering around me while I stood under that tree last Friday.

    It does seem that way. I went for a walk with my daughter and granddaughter to see a neighborhood butterfly which astoundingly had literally hundreds of butterflies fluttering around bushes with purple flowers, Like aircraft more kept flying in, hovering and landing to sip nectar.

Thank you so fairy much for fluttering by my blog. Feedback makes me sparkle! Unless it is mean - please keep that poison for yourself.
