Unexpected Landing

Painted Lady Butterfly, August 2020





How often do we 
see something for the first time  -  
and really see it?




* We were on our way to dinner and she was fluttering around the front walkway like crazy - landing for less than a second and then taking off again. I had never seen a painted lady before and only identified her afterwards by the photo. It's exhilarating to host a new-comer. So far this summer we have had monarchs, swallowtails, sulfurs,a red admiral and now the painted lady.
