Butterfly





Brayden and I were outside getting cuttings from the lilac trees and saw our first butterfly this year! It was very easy to catch, and appeared to have just emerged. The wings seemed to be just drying out. It was very docile, so we brought him inside for a closer look, and the boys were able to identify it themselves as a black swallow tail.

Rylan put him back on the yellow forsythias where we found him.
