Day 81.  Another butterfly shot.  Actually I got two different butterflies today.  But I have seen this one around for a couple of days and finally was able to get close enough to take his picture.  In case you are wondering it is a Mourning Cloak butterfly.  I went out early this afternoon and took several pictures and had a hard time choosing which one to use.  Then I realized that the other shots weren't going anywhere.  If I don't use them, I can retake them.  This guy is here today but may not be here tomorrow.  So, I chose him.  He's nice but not really rare, or something spectacular.  But, I think he is pretty special.  In the caterpillar stage this guy had a voracious appetite that could devastate a tree, they travel in groups, also he had spikes that contain a mild poison.  Not really the kind of visitor you want around.  As a butterfly, I don't think anyone would chase him away.  So, here is the lesson.  God chose me.  You can fill in the blanks.
