Mourning Cloaks are considered the longest living butterfly. The average adult life span is a remarkable 10 months, but they can live as long as a full year.
Like so many of the pines on the south rim of the Grand Canyon this tree looks more dead than alive, but somehow it still seems to hang in there.

(02/365) Possibly an American Robin ornament? Noticed & photographed perched in a friend's Christmas tree today. Happy Wing Wednesday!
For my new group 2019 : one photo each day new members who are undertaking a 365 challenge are very welcome to join. I might have a "Hipstamatic" January seeing as my first 2 images this year were taken using that App, time will tell.
Thanks everyone for all the encouraging comments & support, much appreciated. I will catch up with commenting on your photos in the next day or so, I'm a little busy right now making sure the final photos are submitted to the 2018 group & monitoring the 2019 as new members join.
02/100x my 100 photos will all be taken using the Hipstamatic App.
The Snow Buntings seem to be very busy this time of the year. They are classified as "perching" birds because of the three forward toes and one backwards one that enable it to hang on pretty good to a perch. Hang on to your perch this weekend and have a Happy Fence Friday.
Continuing in a series of "Good Birds on Ugly Perches". Been awhile since I've had a contribution...

Perched on a limb covered with lichen. Many of the trees were covered with this but good to know, it is not harmful to the trees.
30+ years of living in this area and I've never really seen these birds... or most of the other species I have come across. 2020 definitely gave me the opportunity to 'stop and smell the roses'.
