"Beautiful and graceful,
varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead
you to the sunny side of life. And everyone deserves a little
sunshine."

"To me, photography is an art of observation.
It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place...
I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything
to do with the way you see them."
----Elliott Erwitt

May the wings of the butterfly
kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light
on,
To bring you luck, happiness
and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.

Beauty Visits
Beauty came flitting into the
garden
Today with its yellow, black
and blue
Looking so radiant among the
Alstromeria blossoms.
A photographer's dream it is
when
A magical bit of nature chooses
you to
Stay with for a mystical moment
in your life.
How happy one feels!

"The butterfly is a flying
flower, The flower a tethered butterfly."

"Just living is not enough,"
said the butterfly, "one must have sunshine, freedom and
a little flower."

Butterfly Wings
You saw her, didn't you?
That brief flash of color
So bright and beautiful,
Fading as fast as she came.
With tiny little wings,
She fluttered into life,
Landing lightly on our hearts
Like fairy dust.
Then, as quick as the wind changes,
She was gone,
Soaring back to where she came,
Freed on butterfly wings.
