Beautiful butterfly, Lisa! Don't you just love those Butterfly bushes? They are like having a butterfly magnet!

Lisa, I thought it was a pretty good picture and it looked so colorful. Of course, I know people who have those good zoom lens can get much better pictures than I can with my tiny zoom lens. It seems like I've had a lot less butterflies on my bush this year but that might be the result of the intense heat we've been experiencing here.
