Butterfly Beauty

This week we have finally had some beautiful weather! Sunshine and temperatures above sixty degrees... hallelujah!

Tuesday evening while I was laying outside on a blanket watching clouds with Jonah, I noticed a little visitor to our yard. Our first butterfly of the year! I was so excited to see this little guy, so I ran into the house to get my Canon XSi and my zoom lens.

I was sure that he would be gone by the time I got back, or that he would be too far away on the top of the tree to get a photo. Can I just say how amazing my camera is?


Spring must really be here to stay.
Happy Spring and Happy Easter!

    Beautiful! I am so jealous of your weather! We are having major thunderstorms tonight and more rain for the next 4 days. Oh, and it's not even 50 degrees. lol!

    Good job, can't believe he was still there! I find it so hard to capture butterflies - they act like they had too much caffeine this morning LOL
