Hello all, this is
I Heart Macro Sunday and it is all about butterflies. Mom was lucky enough to take pictures of a butterfly Wednesday night getting drunk on the pollen in the lilies. I was so excited to share this pictures because you can see the pollen on the wings and you can see the butterfly dip its head into the flowers in a couple of the photos. It was so exciting to see these the next day, mom done good and I guess I will keep her.

But, Blossom, were I
I would rather be
Thy moment
