Okay, I have to leave for the movies in 15 minutes so let's keep this short. It may be December but there are still butterflies to be had. Granted, I think I have most of them at this point but I will keep us going strong through the winter!

Yesterday, just before I was ready to leave, a butterfly emerged. They always know when I'm getting ready to leave and do this. In this case, it was a Buckeye. Now, most people think of Buckeyes as brown butterflies with cool eyespots. But when you see a fresh one you can see just how many colors they have. Pretty amazing little things, aren't they? I love the blue and purple inside the eyespots the best.
