Ann, it still looks a little wintery there but at least one butterfly is out and about! Hopefully, soon he'll be joined by many more!

Nice, Ann. Who is the artist and what is the medium?

Posted by Maria Morton (Prudential Kansas City Realty) 8 months ago

Ann, that is one gigantic butterfly.  Was he mutated in a lab?

That's one way to keep the butterflies around.

Ann - It looks gray and dreary. You should grab a paint brush and add some spring colors!

Thanks for warming me up a little bit with that picture, keeping my hopes up that spring will actually start springing soon here in NJ.
