Spring Surprise

I was sitting on the steps putting on my shoes before a walk, when movement in the cherry laurels caught my attention.  I've spotted a couple of swallowtails but this is the first Monarch of the season for me.

Thank you for the lovely comments  you have left for my blips over recent days (weeks, and months!).  I truly appreciate the support, and wish there were more hours in the day to thoroughly review and your creative journals.
