Swallowtail Butterfly Embraces Rose: Photo Of The Day

WALNUT CREEK, CA — Carla Winter of Walnut Creek snapped this moment of beauty.

She took the photo last month "of a butterfly embracing a very fragrant rose. You can see it hugging with its wing tips."

Carla concludes, "Smell the moment."

A good reminder. Thank you Carla!
