"No matter what happens, life is too short to be anything but happy. Live fully. Have fun. Love lots. Learn lots. Take chances. Let go."
– Karen Salmansohn--This butterfly has lost much of its yellow color and is a bit battered. It loved the Carolina Phlox in the pollinator garden I've been working on... it is so nice to have the butterflies and bees visit. In my extras folder is a younger and more brilliantly colored eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly. https://365project.org/kvphoto/extras/2021-07-25
I don’t think the faded colors diminish this butterfly’s beauty at all! I was out watering flowers this morning, watching a butterfly when all of a sudden our resident bullfrog snatched him for breakfast. A few hours later he caught another one! I’m afraid I will have a well fed bullfrog and no butterflies!!!
