Living on Thyme - Camera Critters


Yesterday, my sweet young friend Rena and I were walking through the garden perusing the flowers and herbs.  We were both delighted when we noticed this purplish butterfly resting delicately on the tips of the Thyme.  This little fellow was happily eating his fill from the flowers, barely moving--even when I moved the camera in closer.

We have white and yellow butterflies, along with the monarch and swallowtails.  I had not seen this purplish butterfly until this summer.  It seems to especially love living on Thyme.
