I would sometimes find yourself in a place where God is waiting only for someone to open the shutter - Ansel Adams

" ... I come here every day, say hello to the butterflies, and talk about things with them. When the time comes, though, they just quietly go off and disappear. I'm sure it means they've died, but I can never find their bodies. They don't leave any trace behind. It's like they've been absorbed by the air. They're dainty little creatures that hardly exist at all: they come out of nowhere, search quietly for a few, limited things, and disappear into nothingness again, perhaps to some other world.”

― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

This is a massive butterfly that I had seen in my garden before but it didn't stay long enough for me to take a good photo. This time I took my time getting as close as possible. I discovered that if you don't move for long enough the butterfly forgets that you’re there and it starts to relax, take its time and enjoy itself.

Thanks to *christine** I can tell you that this butterfly is a Yellow Admiral.

Whilst waiting for my friends to catch some fish, this little one, measuring about 2cm from tip to body, landed on my camera bag. Couldn't capture this one with opened wings which would have been lovelier since the opened version will show reflective greenish blue colours.

Specially uploaded for Luaia Nampui [Ner_Luv] who has great love for butterflies.

When they left little was left.

l'amore è come una farfalla, se la stringi troppo muore se la lasci libera vola via......

love is like a butterfly. if you hold it too tight, it dies. if you leave it free, it flies away..

Patterns that look like spooky faces on a butterflys wings.
