Pretty flowers there Dusty, and it's always sort of 'special' when a butterfly happens to be attracted while you're there with the camera handy....nice one.

Indeed very nice Dusty, thanks for sharing. :D

If it weren't for the two antennas visible only in a couple of the shots, I would say that your morning glories were on the verge of a new evolution of growing green crown petals from their central inner parts. :) The butterfly's colour wing patterns can easily be taken as of a green growth.

By the way, you created a nice, tranquil-looking backyard with those morning glories taking over the fencing. Good work!
3,5 year-old still helping you around with the gardening? :)

Thanks, everyone, for your comments.

Yes, Yildiz, my little ones still "help" me from time to time. Now my littlest one "helps" me whenever I carry her in the backpack. She just loves to pick leaves and see if they're tasty enough for an on-the-road salad! :lol:

Nothing like laughing the day off with young ones..
