At the Park with the Butterflies

Took a ride down the road a few miles to the state park. So much to talk about. But for now I will share this gorgeous swallowtail butterfly with you from the butterfly garden. The trees are massive and full of squirrels. Nature is amazing to enjoy each moment. Hope the internet connection works now. See you soon.

@CarolDM Were there a lot of butterflies? Here we see them, but not many at a time.

@much2say Yes a lot and all were these black ones. I need a wildflower section in my garden. They love these cone flowers too.

@caroldm There nothing so peaceful as watching a happiness of butterflies lighting on flowers then moving on to other flowers. So relaxing.

You are so right. I enjoyed every moment I was out. Funny how I saw butterflies at home and again at the park.

So nice, I always spend time in nature when I am down at the lake. It is especially fun if no one is around.

@CarolDM no butterflies my place, birds and butterflies do not like noisy pace. It seems they are disturbed.

That's a great photo and that butterfly must be quite a size.

These are the same kind I get in Dustin's garden. They have a 4-6 inch wingspan.

What a beautiful butterfly, What a beautiful creation of the Universe, which brings me to the world that the things of God are really beautiful and perfect. How beautiful nature is and to be able to enjoy an outdoor picnic there at that very moment and to be able to enjoy with the family and take some time to relax. Enjoy it as soon as you can, as sometimes the things we can share outdoors are limited due to lack of time. Greetings.

it's a beautiful butterfly, in the flower garden around my house it's rare for butterflies to land. maybe because of air pollution that disturbs their habitat I hope nature will come back beautiful again
