While gardening today and sweating in 92 degrees this little guy didnt seem to care about the temperature.

One of the many joys of a garden. 8-)

hard to remember that those beautiful butterflies were once caterpillars

BEAUTIFUL! I love butterflies

The neighbors cat left me a surprise to, not a joy...lol

Hard to believe that butterflies like dead animals and poop...yes poop. So the next time one of those pretty little creatures lands on you are you gonna swat it like a house fly, funny how pretty makes all the difference in the world.

!!!!

I don't have my zinnias this year; and don't have as many butterflies either. They are beautiful creatures!

I have lantana...the butterflies love it!!

I just love butterflies! I planted some bee balm & a butterfly flower this year & have seen more this year than ever before. One landed on my hummingbird feeder a couple of days ago & stayed there for quite awhile. Wish I would've gotten a picture of it.

I've seen quite a few butterflies this year, too. It is good to stop and admire nature.

What a pretty pic. Thanks for sharing.

I just saw a monarch today, so pretty!

Boy they are something else. So pretty!

I've never seen Lantana its quite pretty, and the butterflies add a nice touch. Thanks for sharing

Bee balm I just discovered two weeks ago while canoeing the clarion river in Pennsylvania. Deep red flowers that just jump out and say hello. Can't wait to try it here in Indiana.
