After The Snow Comes.....Butterflies!

Painted Lady

I could not believe my eyes. I got home from work and spotted this little beauty near our back door!
Just three days after one of our biggest snow storms ever!
I really like how the sun, low in the sky, kisses the wings and makes them shine.

Makes me wonder if it flew in after the storm...or was hiding somewhere? Fantastic catch, Carol. Wonderful details & light on both shots. V!
