Found Spring

Happy Monday all!
of things found on my walks.

The butterfly had lost a wing 
and I couldn't just leave him on the curb.
He is just too pretty.

    Beautiful, Holly! I am a part-time cataloger (soon to be leaving that job to make art full-time!) at a library and I'm drawn to such collections and documentation...I think there is a bit of cataloger in you too! Lovely!
