A Most Welcome Visitor


Not long after the Butterfly Bushes began blooming ...



Look who returned to the garden.


I'm officially hanging out the welcome sign.

~ Welcome Back, Butterflies ~

I have missed you and welcome you once again.




"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly,
"one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."

    I'm going to write that quote in my journal! I've always likes Hans C.A! And it's always fun to see the butterflies AND hummingbirds come back! ♥

    Beautiful photos and I love the quote. I've been wanting a butterfly bush and meant to purchase one this year. I don't know if they are still available, will have to look next time I'm in the Big town. I love butterflies! Pretty post, Kim!

    You make nature come alive! You add doses of beauty to my days with every visit. This post is exceptionally beautiful and I always enjoy seeing butterflies, especially in such upclose pictures. The quote tied in perfectly.
