Long time no post!

No pictures today (or yesterday)  Yesterday I worked on a little video for Shutterfly.  (took all day...take 500 worked) haha.  Just kidding it was actually only 499. 

Mason and I went outside for a walk.  Lots and lots of spring flowers coming up.  Wow. I can't wait!  I also planted about 40 more tulips (I got them on clearance over the winter)  Hopefully they will make it. 

Shutterfly posted one of my articles on their blog today.  It's titled "What's in your camera bag?"  If you get time.  Leave me a comment. Here's the link http://blog.shutterfly.com/7150/whats-in-your-camera-bag/
Looking forward to summer butterflies! I just got this in my email today:  (Thought i'd share with you!!!) 

16 Plants for Caterpillars

To attract butterflies, host plants are a good place to start. These plants provide a spot for butterflies to lay their eggs, and they also offer food for the caterpillars. Butterfly expert Tom Allen recommends the following "sweet 16" to attract some common species.
  1. Aster—Pearl crescent
  2. Everlasting—American lady
  3. Carrot—Black swallowtail
  4. Choke or black cherry—Tiger swallowtail
  5. Dill—Black swallowtail
  6. False nettle—Red admiral, eastern comma
  7. Fennel—Black swallowtail
  8. Flax—Variegated fritillary
  9. Milkweed—Monarch
  10. Pansy—Variegated fritillary
  11. Parsley—Black swallowtail
  12. Passionflower—Gulf fritillary, zebra long-wing, variegated fritillary
  13. Snapdragon—Common buckeye
  14. Toadflax—Common buckeye
  15. Violet—Most fritillaries
  16. Willow—Viceroy, western tiger swallowtail, red-spotted purple, mourning cloak
