These Yellow Poplars displayed their autumn best today, as the sun dispelled the cold snap that had held the region for the last few days. Along with the newfound warmth came a new generation of butterflies, these bright yellow, in contrast to their orange forebears that had graced my path before the frosts of these past three days. I don't know how today's butterflies survived the frost, or why their color is different, but it's a joy to have them back. Maybe they have just emerged from their coccoons, which could have sheltered them from the cold.
