With snow still lingering in scattered spots and the landscape just deciding it’s O.K. to turn green butterflies are starting to spring up and brighten the day. One of the first is the beautiful Mourning Cloak which can always be found hanging out up at butterfly hill.

I remember the first time I saw one of these. Lovely things, with dark to light color variations.

Apparently this is identical with what we in the UK call a Camberwell Beauty. It is definitely a beauty, but Mourning Cloak is a wonderful name.
