Nice To Meet You, Too!

So busy today. I run an outreach called Baby Bear. We supply children's things for folks in need in our community - 29 families this morning.

This afternoon Tom got home early and we went to the Butterfly Show. He was a good sport and allowed me to try and get something different - which I did. Can you tell this is actually two butterflies? You are meeting the female as the guy is busy. Apparently, late in the day is sort of mating time. I had a great conversation about butterfly anatomy with one of the volunteers that help run the show.

[Rob Crosby]

Nice shot, Cathy. I wondered if that weren't another set of wings, then read your description. Nicely done. Sounds like you're involved in some really great work. You really should update your avatar photo though. Not fair to use high school yearbook shots! ;-)

[Cathy Donohoue]

@rob257 Thank you Rob. That yearbook shot was taken at my perennial student's long awaited college graduation 3 years ago, Thanks for the compliment. Now, as to avatar shots.......
