Just dropped in to remind me...

Scarlet Jezebel, Delias argenthona (Fabricius, 1793)

This link mentions they like Mistletoe as their host plant.

I'll be inspecting them all on my doggy walks from now on.

After posting my gloomy comments with my sombre foggy sunrise pics yesterday, it was a sunny crisp warm morning here.

 

Do you ever look for a 'sign' from the universe?

Well, I don't.

 

But I do think there's something intriguing about the theory regarding 'The Law of Attraction'.

 

i.e.: What is in your head, you attract.

This link gives 7 steps, but honestly, quite often things start to happen quickly after just making a decision with faith, and I'm not talking about religion here.

Just simple trust within your being.

 

After my dispirited comments concluded with the half-baked woeful intention (well, it gets boring being tragic after so long, doesn't it…), to become more proactive towards creating/enjoying a more positive existence, a cheerful visitor dropped in to help amaze me out of my stagnation.

 

Just fluttered past my eyeline, choosing a resting spot in the nearby frangipani tree to strengthen his brand new wings in the sun.

 

And stayed there for so long, that I had time to run inside for the camera, return with a chair to stand on for a better angle of view, set up at various points/distances, fiddle with settings, take about 120 photos…well, you never know, none of them might be any good..

 

He was quite content to enjoy that sunny spot for ages and although as always, the breeze was waving the garden around, he stayed almost completely still.

What a gift..
