Butterflies

Spider threads caught the morning light.  A juvenile towhee marched up the steps and took over the birdbath.  A hummingbird had the beginning of a ruby throat.  A Carolina wren ate bark butter.  Blue jays and even a dove showed up. 

A skink slipped into the violet leaves.  Then the butterfly parade began with a buckeye.  A variagated fritillary never paused.  A monarch found the butterfly milkweed. I also saw a cloudless sulphur, a palamedes swallowtail, a tiger swallowtail, and a red spotted purple. The brown mantis was still lurking in the rose twigs.
