... to Chase Butterflies

A Monarch Butterfly

I took the time today to follow a butterfly because, so the saying goes, 'butterflies lead you to the sunny side of the life'. 
  And this monarch, late to leave after summer, did lead me on a merry dance. With camera in hand, I stalked it from the geraniums down by the lawn to the bright pink nerine flowers on the deck and back again.
  It stayed still there long enough for me to get this photo. And then, with a dainty flit of its wings, the butterfly fluttered by.
