Where Are All the Butterflies?

I love butterflies! Who doesn't? But, unfortunately, here in the Mid-Atlantic, I have not seen many yet this summer. A few moths have flitted by, but not the "standard" butterflies I'm used to seeing on a daily basis. I even have "butterfly" friendly plants, but still have not seen the usual suspects I enjoy see fluttering by. 

But, just down the road a couple of hours, in Charlottesville, VA, I did see more butterflies! I suppose they haven't made their trek further North yet. Who really knows? 

I'm glad to capture one pictured below; and very happy to have my butterfly fix for the summer (but truthfully, not enough.)

BSoleille!
