Butterfly Dreams

Here is one butterfly captured by the lens, but yesterday I had one sit on my knew for a few minutes (perhaps I seemed a warm rock reading on the deck). Oddly, I felt honoured. This one above is an exotic (to Ontario) swallowtail - while yesterday - was a smaller butterfly perhaps a painted lady - it was smallish, orange, brown and black and had knobs on its antenae that were tipped in white. Sigh... I used to know more than I can remember now - in terms of nature ID... I'll have to get out there and practice...
