 Butterflies like people are beautiful! You might just need to look inside to see the beauty & goodness of them. 2 butterfly species whose ventral view is nondescript but when the butterfly shows it's dorsal view their is much beauty. 2 of my favorite butterflies seen at the #NationalButterflyFestival last month.

Bentsen Rio Grande Valley State Park ~ Buff-bellied Hummingbird

 Buff-breasted Hummingbird Bentsen Rio Grande Valley State Park. Had a great time there. While talking with another birder at the park when we realized we had known each other through birding for a number of years. Then, 10 years ago she & husband retired to travel FT in their RV. It was great to reconnect with Ellie and look forward to keeping in touch again.
