Happiness is finding in the woods the first flowers of spring this year, the snowdrops. Its petals look like little wings that seem to want to provide the peace☮ we need right now.
“A loving heart, determination, faith, courage, trust, belief, truth, and a solid soul create the wings with which we fly.”
― A.D. Posey
Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see
how beautiful they are, but everyone else can.
People are like that.
It was a windy day and the dragonfly was clinging tightly to the branch as it vibrated back and forth. I fired a burst of shots and later merged them in Photoshop to create this image for Wing Wednesday, with added toning applied.

Part of the sculpture “Wings over Water” is about 70 feet long and is made of steel. aluminum and high tech stamisol fabric. A continually changing light display washes over and around the kinetic sculpture from the fountain below. Created by Joe O’Connell, the sculpture stands in front of the George R. Brown Convention Center, Avenida de las Americas, Houston.
In the Children's Garden at Dauset Trails there are many wonders to see, from the great variety of flowers, which changes season to season, to all the winged wonders who visit all those varied flowers.
Our second destination at Dauset Trails was the Children's Garden. There were plenty of these Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterflies flitting about. I just love all those wonderful colors on their wings!
Not disappointed at Dauset Trails.

It must be the last flower photo for now.
Hey, I'm not a flower store or something. ;)
Try this ..... I honestly have no idea what flower this is. Its center looks like a cluster of small transparent insect wings when you look closely.

Between the pages
in a book of long ago.
Are written the things
only butterflies know.
Special are the leaves
that they've inscribed.
With the secrets of life
that their little one's abide.
If only we knew
the butterfly's way.
We wouldn't be working
while the butterflies play.

Their lives brushed ours like passing wings: soft, invisible, unforgettable. You never saw them in person, but your heart knows what it felt every time you read their comments on your photos. Like butterflies with broken wings, shining in their brevity, they still take flight.
And although your friends are no longer within your reach, they have been etched in the quiet corners of your soul. Every echo of kindness in their written messages, every feeling of being known without ever having met us, remains.

Rest in Peace
In morning light they softly glide,
With painted wings and gentle pride.
A fleeting brush of nature’s art,
That lifts the soul and warms the heart.
They dance through air with silent grace,
No rush, no race—just time to chase.
A lesson wrapped in colors bright:
To savor joy, to seek the light.
So pause awhile, let wonder grow,
Where butterflies in silence go.
Their beauty speaks in quiet flight
A tender gift, a pure delight.

I had to do another photo shoot wearing this *amazing* ensemble called "Spring Race" by [Aura Designs] because of her incredible texture HUD with so *very* many options... I should call this outfit "Autumn Race" as I used all of the orange-ish & black HUD colors to re-texture - I hope you like it!)

The art of growing wings can be tricky at first, particularly in terms of placement. Kind of hit or miss, esp. miss.
Have a nice Sunday.

Sometimes you come across something that is so intriguing that it makes you want to do a double take. This particular moth caught my eye from across the walkway and the sight made me go back to the car, get my camera, and return to the site to capture this beauty.
I'm hoping the filter used was not too harmful to the natural beauty of the insect but instead enhanced its features.
