I adore butterflies and moths!
...their amazing and brilliant color schemes, intricate shapes, and sizes from extremely tiny to that of a dinner-plate. Their ability to just "float" on even the slightest breeze never ceases to capture my interest, and I watch them in awe whenever I'm in their weightless presence.
I've been to a couple different Butterfly Farms in Florida, and if you ever have the chance to visit one of these amazing places, I highly recommend taking the time to go!
From my collection:
'Happiness is a butterfly which, when pursued,
is always beyond our grasp,
but which if you will sit down quietly,
may alight upon you."
- Nathaniel Hawthorne
Pay it forward - spread a smile!
Butterflies are so pretty and elusive in my region unfortunately. We briefly had a tourist attraction here in town called The Butterfly Pavillion, which was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYears ago those words by Nathaniel Hawthorne inspired me to write a poem. If you like poetry at all, I can send it to you. :)
Oops...I commented but it didn't go through. That's what I get for being up so late. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love butterflies...so beautiful and elusive. Thanks for sharing these gorgeous pics!
What a beautiful series of Butterfly pictures! I feel they are truly amazing creatures. Have you ever been to the Butterfly House at Callaway Gardens? It is one magical place to visit.
