  1. I love the fritillary butterflies! Haven’t seen one yet this year, but did see the first swallowtail of the season. So pretty!

    1. Hi Diane, for me, up here in the mountains it’s still a bit early for many of the butterflies but it won’t be long. Soon the fruit trees will be blooming, inviting the butterflies to come visit! Isn’t nature wonderful!?

      Thank so much for reading my posts!
