I love butterflies too. If you ask me they are the most casually calculating bug around. Fluttering here, fluttering there as if they are being blown in whatever direction they take. Yet, try to catch one of these elusive things. They are like magic in the way they avoid you & just keep fluttering on in their care free way.

And good morning to you too! We didn't know enough or even want to try to catch her (or him), so there was no need for escape tactics. She just looked right through us (they do have eyes, right?). Thanks for reading. xx, Carrie
