I have seen so few butterflies this summer, it’s really been disheartening. They are usually constantly flitting about the flowers in my yard. This summer it has not been so. I could count on one hand the number of butterflies I’ve seen in my yard. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

… Until yesterday, when this beautiful orange and brown Pearl Crescent came to sample some of my Zinnias. It must have liked them as it stayed for hours. Have you seen many butterflies this summer?
