While out and about the other morning I saw this butterfly. The reason I really noticed it was because it’s right wing was curled…I stopped for a few moments and put two and two together as I watched it. This butterfly had just emerged from it’s cocoon! I started looking around and, sure enough, there was the cocoon! Of course, since I could do so, I ran for the camera and captured this hard-working, patient, and lovely butterfly! Also, one evening, the lighting was so lovely as I was watching other butterflies enjoy the flowers so I headed out to take a few pictures of them – the closing photos.
