This last butterfly that we raised and released was special because we had her from an egg.  I saw the mama lay the egg on the leaf and we brought it inside and put it in our butterfly cage.  It was so fun to get a clip of her breaking out of her chrysalis.  So beautiful!

Sunflower Glory

We grew some beautiful sunflowers this summer. I had lot of fun capturing some of their beauty. I didn't realize how sweet they smell. I can see why the bees and bumble bees loved them.
