Right place. Right time.

Sometimes doing a little yard work pays off in unexpected dividends.

I was weedwacking the edge of the walkway by our front garden when a newly hatched Monarch Butterfly landed on the pavement right in front of me.

Of course, I put the weedwacker down and ran inside to get my camera.

Although the new butterfly wandered off into the garden before I could catch the complete unfurling of its wings, I was glad to have been there to see something I had never seen before.

Nature never fails to surprise me.  I went out to trim back the weeds and came in with a new memory.  Right place.  Right time.  Another magical moment captured by chance.
