Sitting on a Flower

As we walked around we saw lots and lots of butterflies flying or sitting on a flower. They were so gorgeous! 

Pretty Colors

At Xcaret, they have an area with butterflies.  There were lots of different types of butterflies and some were very interesting and pretty!

Beautiful Butterfly

While at Xcaret, we went to an area where there were butterflies everywhere.  The trick was to get them to stop long enough to get a photo.  They were beautiful!

Added Beauty

Afton, Wyoming

From what I can tell this is a butterfly because butterflies have a bulb at the end of their antennas and moths do not.  The flowers around the  Star Valley Wyoming Temple were so pretty and this one with a butterfly on it, well, it just added to it’s beauty!

I love the gardens at Mount Vernon and I love butterflies, so it was a perfect day of both!

After going on a tour of the Allerton Garden with my Step-Mother, Sonja, we walked through some beautiful flowers covered with butterflies.  Butterflies are so hard to take photos of because they rarely stop moving!  I was so pleased to get this photo!

While out walking with friends thru the mountains northeast of Rome, back in 2007, we came across this beautiful Butterfly (Farfalla).

La Farfalla di Rosa

We went up into the mountains north of Rome with some friends and there, in 2007, we had a wonderful time at our friend’s cabin, Enrico & Letizia.  At one point we all went for a walk, it was gorgeous!  Amongst the trees were these beautiful butterflies, tiny and very small.  My friend Rosa, put one on her hand, so I call this one, La Farfalla di Rosa (Rosa’s Butterfly).
