I know I have said this before, but one of the best decisions I made was to plant a butterfly garden straight out my front window. Today, something white captured my attention, taking my focus away from my writing. This of course turned into me rushing towards the camera and flying out the door.

The great southern white was visiting the red penta, taking tons of sips from different flowers. Whenever I see them at Butterfly Estates they are incredibly hard to photograph. Today this beauty was not bothered by me, as it was content on sipping away, briefly turning its head to watch me.

One of the greatest joys for me is to attract a variety of species to the gardens. The last time I saw this one in the garden was May 2022. It was definitely just passing through grabbing something to eat before it was on its way again, as I do not have any of its host plant in the garden.
