Butterflies

I am not the only one who is attracted to Mrs Bear. Today, when painting windows, a butterfly landed on her arm, rolled out its trunk and started to "nibble" on her arm. It seemed very secure and comfortable and did not move until I had fetched my camera and taken some pictures. If you click on the picture, you will get an enlargement and can see that it has a small droplet on its trunk. Is it sweating?



Half an hour later, a second butterfly landed on her hat and spent some time just sitting there, enjoying the nice weather we have. The trunk was now rolled up or is it a ring in his/her nose?

Dear Bear family,
found your letter and the link to this blog. Tried to reach you through your email in Vienna, but this is not possible. Do you have another email account? Greetings, Hans and Ingrid (hvanhaasteren@home.nl)
