Last summer, we went on a spontaneous little road trip to the hills around us and visited an old mining town. As we walked the dirt streets, we saw lots of interesting things. The photo below is one that I took as we climbed the hill to the cemetery. Did you know that a butterfly's diet is entirely liquid (of course!)? They take all their nutrition through their proboscis (you'll have to look that up). Butterfly food can be found in lots of places; shallow ponds, puddles, fruits, mud...anywhere there is a little moisture there is a meal. Say what you will, but nature is filled with miracles of life such as these, on every hand. We enjoyed watching these beauties flit around just a few feet from us. There were probably a hundred of them, but they wouldn't sit still for pictures so I settled for just one.
