These photos were taken last June in the Alps, just on the Italian side of the border. I think we were somewhat above 2000 metres at this point. I like how there is growth as soon as the sun releases the ground from its snow cover.
And of course, as soon as there is growth, there is more life:
- Butterfly in the making
Off to go exploring
Achieving symmetry
Walking the cat 
Nice capture with the caterpillar! You could have used this for the “purple” challenge as well. 🙂
Yes, I was thinking that today. I had a different picture in mind for the purple but didn’t get my act together (story of my life)…
Mesmerizing!
Thanks! I love this about the photo challenge — gives you a chance to revisit older pictures.
