Rebirth

I went outside to water the plants yesterday and almost passed out with excitement (or was it the humidity?). 




A butterfly had just emerged from its chrysalis!



And not just any butterfly, but one I'd never seen before: a Red-Spotted Purple!



Its iridescent blues were breathtaking, and I don't do it justice in my photos. I will be keeping an eye out for these beauties in the future! Just delighted that we were able to make a home for a new one to be created. <:-)

Hiya, and welcome! I know that with the proliferation of social media, it's not like the olden days of blogging, when we all spent loads of time hanging out in each other's comment boxes. And I know it's a drag to type anything more than a quick sentence on a smart phone. So THANK YOU for taking the time to say something here (and for visiting in the first place). I will always respond to you directly via email, if you supply an address.
