Butterflies on my mind...

For the past few weeks we've been enjoying some visitors.  Butterflies!  In fact, butterflies by the hundreds.  They've been swarming all of our flowers, but seem to be particularly attracted to our mimosa trees.  The majority appear to be Spicebush Swallowtail butterflies, however they've recently been joined by a few of other varieties. 

Absolutely gorgeous to watch.  Mesmerizing, in fact.  To my great disappointment, my photography skills simply cannot truly catch such small creatures in all their fluttering beauty;  at least not in the numbers we're seeing.






Very inspiring.  I can 't help but think about heading to my studio to create some butterfly jewelry.
