April Showers Bring...... Butterflies?!?


I was looking out into the garden this afternoon, enjoying the sunshine and admiring the various blooms that were starting to appear when I noticed a movement on the path. The motion reminded me of that of a butterfly's wings and I wondered about the breeze that was making a leaf move in a similar way. Except the "leaf" really didn't look right for a leaf. I grabbed my
camera and headed outside only to find that it really was a butterfly sunning itself on the bricks in the path... in Montreal... in April.

It is a wonderful treat to see the butterfly this early, but on the other hand, I have to consider the fact that the snow tires are still on the car because it's not unheard of to have a snowstorm around here in late April and wonder why the butterfly was here so early in the season. Oh well -- at least I got to see the butterfly. My neighbour got a mosquito (or other bug) bite yesterday while working in her garden :)
