Butterflies

The girls have been catching butterflies in our backyard for the past few days.  

 I finally got Bailey to sit down (quietly) long enough to capture a few close-ups.

 I now have a butterfly cage hanging in the laundry room filled with several that have been held captive by these little people.

I'm slowly sneeking them one at a time back into the yard so the girls won't notice.

Isn't it amazing how simple beauty can always be found in unexpected places?
