Please excuse the blurry photo, but it is the only evidence I have that I was not seeing things.
I was sitting in the living room watching the Putin’s brutality on the television, when I caught a movement outside the window. When I got up to investigate, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was a butterfly that had flown to one of the window boxes.
I went to get my camera to try and take a photo. It was difficult to focus on the butterfly down through the double-glazed window, but I did manage this one shot. I decided to walk outside to try to get a better shot. I put on my winter boots and coat and walked around to the front of the house. When I rounded the corner to the front where the window box is, the butterfly saw me and fluttered away.
I am sure that some of you out there might be seeing butterflies by now, but we still have 10 inches (25cm) of snow covering the ground. It was a very mild afternoon though (12°C, 53°F) so maybe it felt like spring to the butterfly.
