Backyard Butterflies

Never, have we ever, seen butterflies like this before in our backyard.

They have been in and out of our garden for a few days now and finally landed on some flowers, that  just happened to be close enough for us to get a better look and take some photos.

Butterflies are some of the most beautiful insects in the world. They do not seem to linger in one place very long so are easy to miss if we are not on the watch for them while out in our yard. 

These amazing, small flying insects are a great reminder that there is always beauty after pain.

What a blessing!

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.
-Irish Blessing

Happy Friday!!
