The butterfly isn't on the Chinese Zodiac - but a few years ago, I declared that this would be the year of the butterfly.
why? oh so many reasons!
but that's not what this post is about! This post is just my entry into @whatisnew's Butterfly Day Giveaway :)
I've been gone from Steemit for a bit... (breaking my brain. but now its fixed and i'm back) and I've been finding all these little ways to interact with Steemians! and its been super fun!
This post was shared on #pypt today - so I thought, Hey!! I have a cool butterfly photo! It's not a living butterfly - but it's a special one to me, nonetheless :)
Hope you like!

This is a photo I took in a beautiful flower garden in Exeter, CA :)
That's a terrific sculpture! Makes me want to jump on its back and fly away. It looks so happy. :^)
