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..

I took this one last time I was in the butterfly garden.

It was so busy having lunch that it didn't move while I was taking my pictures...

Happy weekend to you all!! :)

This little butterfly was the size of my fingernail! Extremely tiny. It was still fairly cold when I took this photo, so he wasn't moving around much. It gave me the opportunity to get closer.

I haven't uploaded any thing to my Flickr page for months now, so I thought I should put up some photos I have taken at a recent visit to a butterfly farm.... Enjoy..

what I think are cabbage white butterfly eggs on a rocket leaf - same ones I photographed here www.flickr.com/photos/lordv/7960696414/ 9 days ago. Thought they looked close to hatching
