Rainy Morning With the Butterflies

Nashville, Tennessee

August 28, 2020 10:58am CST

Was out having coffee in the screen room earlier. A fast cup of coffee as it was so muggy, like a sauna out there. Then the rain came, a quick shower. Should get more later. Before the rain I snapped this photo of a little brown skipper butterfly in Dustin's garden. Many of these tiny butterflies are all over both bushes. I always enjoy seeing the different types all through the end of September usually.

You sure know every butterfly that stops by Dustin's garden. It's a beautiful sunny day here.

@StyleWithSense Many are not seeing too many lately, it is good to know when someone sees them, they are declining.

It's been a long time, since I saw a little butterfly. In fact I really see any. Nice photo.

@jvicentevalera They are like a presence to me in the garden. I almost feel my son around when they visit. But that's just me. We are all different.
