I found this beauty on my porch yesterday. It is outside in the world now, sipping nectar from the Spring flowers.
The Swallowtail emerged from this chrysalis, attached all winter to my porch screen by the finest of threads.

It is…never fails to amaze me to think of the caterpillars changing into winged creatures.

Oh …I hope you got to watch it birth and dry …ready for flights unknown.

I wish I had. I have caught this in the past, even filmed it once, but this time I found the butterfly just as the photograph shows. It surprised me. I can’t wait until I begin to see even more flying around the garden flowers.

How exciting! We’ve been watching robins feeding their babies, but we missed their leaving. That isn’t in the same category as watching a butterfly.

I’ve watched baby robins too. It’s so much fun to watch nature up close and personal.

It is such a treat to watch a chrysalis. We used to do that when our boys were small. It was a great science and bible lesson for them on the amazing creation our Father made.

It’s a thrill that never grows old for me…and yes, it is a great Bible lesson and reminder to me too…that I will change, and I am changing, just like that beautiful butterfly. Thanks for stopping by the blog today.
