Our Painted Lady Butterfly Release Party

A little while back I told you how it was like to do the raising of these Painted Ladies, but now I will show you their release party. It was an occasion that we really did have to hype because the littlest of our family was not super thrilled about letting his little four winged friends fly off. We let them fly away in full splendor and then I followed around trying not to step on them to get some shots for the boys to remember the event by.

But, they really didn't need any of our hype, as you can see, they could leave a person speechless as they posed opening and closing their wings. They were hand painted by the Creator, now grown, transformed and ready for lift-off when the breeze hit them just so. I can't say it didn't make me sad to let them go. I am glad to say though that at least I didn't see a chicken get one, but there were some very close calls.
