The butterflies around my own yard are looking raggedy and not very photogenic, so at lunch I knew I'd have to head out to search for them somewhere else. I stopped at Weston Nurseries in Hopkinton, MA to check out their butterfly bushes. Bingo! Their butterflies were fresh and beautiful, and I had a nice view of a Great Spangled Fritillary! I haven't seen too many of them this year compared to last year. I do have one hanging around my yard that is tattered and torn, so I will show you both for comparison purposes!
