gorgeous butterfly, gorgeous photo!
Poor little thing..I hope she could live her entire cycle, in spite of the weather
thank you CindyBinghamKeiser! in fact I feel sad when I see this photo. it was a November butterfly, windy day, wind blow the butterfly and the butterfly turned and opened wings to sun and next wind and turned and opened ... seemed to get warm.
