‘Do you mind? I’m busy!’

For some reason, there still aren’t any butterflies at the Franciscan Monastery in Northeast DC, although it has been full of them at this time of year in the past. At least this time we did see a lot of skippers. Maybe the butterflies aren’t far behind, although I doubt it.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.
