anna-aspnes-digital-art-travel-template-album-6 Page 17 Sandy River Swallowtails

On the last day of our mountain vacation we went further upriver to a beachy spot. We spied a couple of swallowtails, then going further on we found hundreds of them, seemingly sitting on the beach and drinking. Turns out this is male swallowtail "puddling" - they drink water with amino acids and sodium to make them stronger.
Continuing the flow - TTA6 Page 17 with Mountain High palette.
Created a custom cluster with MM Leaves 10 and a perfect butterfly from Mini Palette Aoristic (just search your collection for "butterfly").
Title is from Aubade Word Art - a black copy placed beneath a white-filled copy and nudged a few pixels - drop shadow and bevel placed on both copies.

Love your photos and story. We've seen this with tiny pastel butterflies on Jeep trails up high where the runoff makes random puddles right in the middle of the dirt road and we stop because we don't want to run over them. :D Thought it was just minerals and didn't know it was only the males.
 
I really like how you paper transfers flowing from one side of your layout to the other promoting the page flow, just like the river flows. A great page and story!
 
Gorgeous two pager! Love the story telling in your journaling...never heard of that with the butterflies. Fantastic title work...thanks for sharing how you created it!
 
Love how the beautiful landscape and how it spans across the page! What a peaceful place!
 
Another beautiful place. How interesting to find the monarchs puddling. So nice when you have the perfect element for a page.
