Thumbs up

I spy with my little eye....


We let milk weed grow on the sanctuary grounds to give the butter flies a place to lay their eggs and I was working in one of the tortoise enclosures I was lucky enough to see this beauty stretching its wings after emerging out of its chrysalis.

Hope you enjoy.
