Description
A bright sunny August day in my Ohio garden is full of the joy of the world; flowers, birds, butterflies. This scene is a typical one of a little Orange Sulphur Butterfly enjoying a moment on my purple butterfly bush (Buddleia.) I hope you can feel the warmth of the summer sunshine as you look at this!

Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate that very much.
I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
