Ever since we spotted the yellow swallowtail butterfly near our garden last week, Sydney has been on a mission to catch one. Today we saw one resting on a plant in the swamp next to us.
I helped her over the fence and she snuck up behind it with her net.
Mission accomplished....
Setting it free....This brings back so many memories of my own childhood - my brother was a butterfly fanatic and caught hundreds. I found myself saying things to Sydney (about handling this guy) that Aaron used to say to me.
OH Sydney Grace, what a beautiful butterfly you caught!!! I am so proud of you for enjoying him and letting him free. God sure does give us beautiful things to enjoy!!!! I love you Syd!!!
ReplyDeleteCUTE!! I especially love the Gymboree ladybug shirt (we have the same one!! lol)...how appropriate for bug catching :)
ReplyDeleteI tell you, she needs her own cable TV show!! Beautiful butterfly, Syd!
ReplyDeleteWow - what a BIG swallowtail! Would have loved a video of Sydney catching it! She handled it so gently - I'm sure it appreciated being set free.
