Buttersit

I had just given the kids ice cream cones when Maddie came running into the house.  “Mom!  Grab your camera quick!  A butterfly is on Jack!”

So I snapped a few quick shots from afar thinking the butterfly would soon take off.  And then Ben fell off his chair (the reason for Jack’s delighted look below) and this still didn’t scare away the butterfly.

I took photos for about 2 minutes and that little fella never flew away.  Maybe he was stuck in a tiny ice cream puddle?

Oh my.  He even let Jack…

…kiss him!

Then Jack put him in a bug catcher and name him Butter and carried him around all evening and then Butter died a sad, lonely death by morning.

The end.

Aww, what a great story. Except the death part. The close up of Butter and Jack's kiss are unbelievable!

Great photo's! Butter must have known what a sweet boy Jack is! Too bad he died so soon. Poor little guy :(
