Butterfly Emerges
Remember the caterpillars that were eating my parsley? One came back last night in the form of a chrysalis – my friend Julie had been caring for it. It emerged today sometime between 11:20 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. I had been doing my chores in the bedroom with the chrysalis all morning, but I left it unattended during lunch and it emerged. Ah, well. I sat with it for another hour or so while it let its wings dry. When it started moving I took it outside to release it. It stayed for a few moments on my crown of thorns. Then it flew away.
Marvelous photos! And, you’ve coordinated the red on the lid with the red on the flowers! I can only imagine how you are liking the new power and settings of the camera. Jennifer D.’s, which came from your patch, also emerged yesterday, too.
Beautiful!!! And of course, the images are stunning.
