i am white...

...of the butterfly variety

lookit what i found today... like a little child was i - twirling about the yard - all i needed was a long-handled net... as monarchs were flying around - landing on dandelions - making pretty contrasts of orange and yellow in the sun... i managed to get off quite a number of shots... found myself chatting to them to help 'em calm down so i could get closer - it actually worked... this talking to insects - boo!

then when i thought all was done - had my blip - i saw a flash of white... went to follow it, of course... and look what had landed... a right pretty little thing... it was nervous though and i only got a few shots - but whoo-boy... those marks on its wings are pure delight - almost appearing as brownish purple flowers against the white of its wing... at least that's what i think... there is nothing that can make you giddy as a little girl like a butterfly - i felt as though i should have pigtails in my hair, blowing in the breeze - surely it made for...

a

happy day.....
