The World Really Needs More Butterflies

in #photography5 years ago (edited)


# butterfly.jpg

She emerged like flowers in spring
Spreading beauty and life everywhere
Life takes her
To extraordinary spaces
Her love for living
Makes her magically beautiful
Always

If a butterfly ever chances your way
If the sun shines on your soul
If you turn your eyes to magic in life
Your smile will never fade

The world really needs more butterflies

So I stumble into
Not the admission but
The fascination I have with
You

Crowded with thoughts of distraction
Held by a tender touch
Your lips on mine, I reach out
Dashing my thoughts once again

A flower. There must always be a flower. This picture is dedicated to #SaturdayIndigo #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra, who always colors my world.

They want to be picked. They yearn to be loved. Shouldn't we all want to be? Let's see your indigo flowers!!!

Today is Saturday, so we all know that it is #Caturday!! Grab your cat and see if you can't make her/him give her best smile!! Let's see your best cat!

A picture of my two little kitties, when they were a little bit younger, all cozy and napping on a soft rug. They used to find comfort in the company of each other until the male decided he was the boss. We all know how that story ends... Happy #Caturday!!

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

Thank you so much for those kind words. I almost never get a shot at capturing butterflies. Weird, huh? They see me coming and they fly away. I swear to God.

A wonderful morning here, I wish you a most awesome day!

Oh that is a splendid capture! Just a gorgeous butterfly! See you make everything that falls under your lens look so stunning, not just flowers!

Aww those cats are so adorable.

My I have to say you look so lovely in love lol. Get it? Great shot Sunshine!

Thank you! You know I never do nature shots, right. Nature does not seem to want me to photograph her! LOL

My kitties. Le sigh.

Haha! Good one. I love the LOVE sign. It is actually at the train station - or the platform anyway. A fun place to go for pictures. Hope you are having a cooler day than yesterday!

Oh! You are the sweetest person EVER! Thank you so much. It is a small train station platform in one of the small towns here. It is a fun place to take some pictures sometimes. I hope you are having a fabulous Sunday!

Hahaha! Yes!!! I think you are the only one that came up with that!!! :) I like the way you think!

feels like I used to see a lot more around when I was a kid , where did they all go?

I feel like there were more around too, but, I was blaming it on living closer to the city. Have a fabulous Sunday!

I think back in the day DDT put a big dent in the numbers. Just a guess.

This is interesting.

Oh, I think you are probably right @old-guy-photos. Now that is a scary thought. The DDT and all the bad it has done, not you were right! :P

There is always connectin between flowers and butterfly, butterfly looks more beautiful when its spreading own wings, the true perfection symbol by nature. Your kitties are so cute and showing their lazy essence just lay snd hug each other.

I know! It is true! They are snugglers for sure!

I almost never get a picture of the butterfly as they are spreading their wings. I was so glad to be able to capture this one!

I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday!

Lovely butterfly there my friend. I strongly agree that the world does need more butterflies to bring that smile on our face. Which brings me to the memory of my best friend's wedding when they had butterflies released the moment they were declared husband and wife.

Oh, that had to be a most amazing moment!! I have never seen that done, but, I believe that would even be more beautiful than doves!

Thank you for stopping by and leaving such kind words! I wish you a most fabulous Sunday!
