Release the Hounds! er, I mean, butterflies.


 Here we are: getting ready to say farewell.
The butterflies immediately starting flapping their wings when we brought the cage into the warm sunlight. We opened the cage and then waited. One was anxious to explore and flew out quickly.





Others needed more coaxing. I let three of them crawl onto my hand to bring them out. One stayed on Beaver for quite awhile and another got close enough to Bear to make his day.











Beaver and I were surprised when the last butterfly finally made the escape. Such a lovely experience!
