Butterfly Ballerina

It takes so little to make people happy. Just a touch, If we know how to give it, just a word fitly spoken, a slight readjustment of some bolt or pin or bearing in the delicate machinery of a soul.

~ Frank Crane

About the image: Taken the morning of August 21, 2011. The Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly reminded me of a ballerina. I used a Kim Klassen texture on this one.

About the quote: We can change someone's day and yes, I believe, their entire life, by speaking kind words. And when you speak kind words, it changes your life as well.

New Mornings With Magic Waiting

I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning. ~J. B. Priestly

Wings on Wednesday - Two-gether

I thought a Flashback to Summer was called for after all of the SNOW. I miss seeing the lovely butterflies and interesting bugs. I was blessed to capture these Tiger Swallowtail butterflies together last year.

Happiness flutters in the air whilst we rest among the breaths of nature.

Macro Monday - Up Close to a Tiger

Up close to a Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly that is. I miss these creatures but I know I'll see them again when Spring rolls around.

To be seeing the world made new every morning, as if it were the morning of the first day, and then to make the most of it for the individual soul as if each were the last day, is the daily curriculum of the mind's desire.
- John H. Finley
