Butterflies Butterflies





Every spring we are the lucky observers of butterfly migrations. For a few weeks, every where you look you can see butterflies flitting. The trees in our neighborhood act as sort of a funnel so a large portion of them go right through our backyard! Once the sun is up, you can see about 5 - 10 butterflies each minute. The kids and I were out enjoying the wonderful sunny spring day and they agreed to catch me a few butterflies so I could take a picture for this blog. I think we caught 5 in about 15 minutes! of course we let them go right away, but I managed to snap a few pics. The baby even got in on it. I'm sure she thought her siblings had gone nuts jumping up and down and waving their arms around but she enjoyed the show!
