Nature's beauty - just outside the front door

Grandson Ollie spotted the butterfly after exiting his mother’s car this morning.

When I saw it, its wings were closed and I said it was a black butterfly.


“No,” said Ollie. “It’s orange and has spots.”

When the butterfly opened its wings I saw Ollie was right.


Flowers and new leaves were catching their first rays of the day as well.


I enjoyed a start to a great day just outside my front door.
