We had a lovely day today. Lots of sunshine. In fact, there was not a cloud in the sky. I was outside for most of the day and my nose is probably sunburned. I worked in the garden all afternoon. There is so much to do. I transplanted a few things, but mostly I pulled and dug out weeds.
The garden was full of butterflies today. I was able to take a couple of great photos. This first one is of a Question Mark Butterfly. I had to look that one up. I don't think I have ever seen one before. Well I probably have. I just didn't know the name of it. At some times there were 10 or more of these fluttering around my early flowers.
There were also a lot of Red Admiral butterflies. Here is a photo of both the Question Mark butterfly and the Red Admiral butterfly on my cherry tree.
I decided to update my header. These butterflies make me so happy!

You got some great photos of the butterflies! I have seen some in my backyard but not while I am outside. I have heard that there are record numbers of early butterflies this year so I hope some are in my area.
