the butterfly miracle

It happened!  Remember these ugly caterpillars?  I saw them here and there back in February.

And in May I found chrysalis.

Well yesterday I was out the front to have a look at repairing our front gate.  I saw a movement in the lemon tree, and look who I saw!

She was still emerging, her wings were still wrinkled and her body was fat.  A few hours later she was gone.  I feel so lucky to have seen her before she left!
