User's notes

I went out after lunch and found this butterfly hovering about on leaves and grass, then over the fence. Over the next 20 minutes it kept returning until finally it landed right in front of me. Appeared to keep cleaning its face. Have only had photo of one once before. woo hoo.

I was so lucky. Every day afterwards it passed thru or over but didn't land.
