    Good shot and another good reason to leave some clover in the landscape. 🙂

    Delightful capture, Eliza! 🦋 I haven’t seen too many butterflies yet this year, maybe 2 or 3, but it’s still early here. Wishing you a lovely Sunday! ❤

      Thank you, Julie. I’ve been seeing more butterflies each day. My milkweed patch has grown huge, so we are ready for the monarchs when they get here about a month from now.

    Crimson, almost, and clover – just like the song says. 😀

    I agree about leaving at least patches or corners for clover, grasses and other small plants to flourish and benefit insects, birds and other creatures. Lovely photo and the depth of field works so well in challenging circumstances!
