A plethora of beautiful butterflies!

 We are currently experiencing an abundance of these colorful swallow-tailed butterflies on the property. Depending on the angle from which they are viewed, the iridescent scales on their wings shift colors from electric blue to electric green and even turquoise and yellow tones. Beautiful!
