Rescue

Two nights before leaving we found a butterfly in a bucket of water by the side of the house. I thought she was dead, but after scooping her out, my daughter made it her mission to "rehabilitate" the unfortunate creature. Of course I wasn't giving up either.

It took about an hour for her wings to fully dry. We tried to get her to take flight but she didn't. Anyone driving by witnessing that might've thought we were involved in some kind of front yard ballet. Eventually we just perched her on a tree limb and bid her goodnight.
