I have been inspired by today's gorgeous weather and have put together this little documentation of a particularly nice day from last summer. The story goes something like this:
I was outside on our back porch when I happened to notice a huge butterfly near the tree by our deck. Having nothing better to do,* I grabbed a net and caught him. In the kitchen, I found a mason jar and some netting from a bag of oranges. This butterfly really was a rather lovely creature, with large colorful fans for wings and three pairs of gentle little stick legs. He did a great job posing and I really enjoyed the opportunity to play around with our new camera. Enjoy the photos! (P.S. You can click on a photo and it will enlarge it and you can scroll through them that way. I like them better when they're bigger.)
*(oh, to have nothing better to do than catch butterflies..! no papers, no calculus...Anyone else ready for summer?!)

| See the chip in his left wing? He left that as a present for me. It's especially beautiful to look at under the microscope. |

| Until another day, my little friend! :) |
