I took a walk... Part 2 (Butterflies)

I have a good excuse for taking so long to post these butterfly photos I promised last week ... 

I was busy turning a whole year older and celebrating Easter surrounded by my kids. 

Most of these butterflies have flitted off to more colorful lands..

I'm glad I captured them when I did!
