Wallflower Butterfly

I was thinking of Spring again today, and since it's not warm and sunny outside I decided to continue with happy, Springy art to help pass the time until the real thing arrives. I took the reference photo for this piece last spring. This butterfly came along and posed so gracefully for me while I was photographing the flowers. I call it the Wallflower Butterfly not because he's shy, but because that's the kind of flowers that it landed on!
