Oh Princess Leah what a beautiful buttie pillar. Do you keep them in the house in the enclosure? Mom and Dad went to an indoor buttie pillar display in Richmond, Va several years ago. Buttie pillars were everywhere. They only let a certain number of peeps in at a time and before you leave they check you over to make sure there are no stow away buttie pillars.
ReplyDeletehugs madi your bfff
Wow! He's beautiful! Are you going to let him go? We usually don't see those kinds of butterflies until the big hydrangea bush blooms in mid summer.

Hello, Princess Leah (and Mom, Julie) ... how lovely to meet you! We apawlogize for being so late coming by with our "thank you" but we did want to visit and thank you for coming to see us with the POTP and well wishes for my daughter, she is better and I know it all helped a great deal. It was special to "find your blog" as KCS (like you) are her fave-woofies! We couldn't help but scroll back and back and back through your bloggie to see all the cute photos! In fact, we've made a special picture for you, but could not find an email here. If you could email us (zoolatry at gmail dot com) we would love to send it to you. Hugs from Ann and all of us at Zoolatry
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness you have butterfly friends, so cool! Hope do you not have a little nibble though? We love to eat bugs, yummy!
ReplyDeleteIt worked! My ODD is satisfied! Woof, woof.
ReplyDeleteWow! Really beautiful! We are playing catch up and wondering how you got the butterfly...
