a Cabbage Butterfy and a dandelion for Mellow Yellow Monday

Above is the first cabbage buttertfly that I have photographed this spring. It is a female cabbage. I enjoy so much finding the id of these beautiful little winged creatures. I have learned that the two black spots on this butterflies fore wing determine that this is a female. Knowledge is power isn't it? Its delightful to know about who's who, in our outdoors nature environment. If I were starting over again , I might like to study science. As a child one of our elementary school subjects was called Nature, which I loved. When I began teaching, how I missed that subject not being on the curriculumn. but I was able to introduce nature in my own way. One of my favourite lessons at this time of year was outdoor sketching and we would study the dandelion and create a watercolour. What beautiful paintings many of the students created!, and we would discuss thejagged tooth like edge of the dandelion leaf and thus its name, 'dent de lion"
