Poor Butterfly!

The weather has definitely changed here in the Northwest! Tonight we are having windy and very wet conditions, with more predicted for the rest of the week. So summer has left the building! Actually, it's been gone a few weeks, and with it the few butterflies I got to see this year! This poor Swallowtail Butterfly was already the worse for wear when I shot the picture in July on our oldest daughter's new place in the country. I just had to post one more butterfly image, since I get to see so few of them.

Poor Butterfly! That thought brought to mind a song by that name. I found it being sung by Judy Garland on YouTube -

a good reminder of more pleasant days...the rain and wind storms are hitting up here at the moment as well, with a stronger storm forecast for Saturday..
