Allure
Wings flutter so grand
Enticed to land
Sunflowers will lure
Perch and adore
~Robyn Lee
This exotic winged creature joined me one afternoon in my yard, soon after I caught his attention by bringing out a vase of these freshly cut sunflowers(below). He then proudly posed for me, perched upon a flower stem!
This post is dedicated to my youngest daughter who is heading home from college for the summer tomorrow. When she was small I called her my “Butterfly Baby”…and I still do.
Welcome Home Honey!
THROUGH THE HEALING LENS 
Lovely shot, Robyn. Nice peachy sort of colour on it’s wings.

Thanks Victoria! Yes – he was a rusty velvet little guy! I was pretty amazed he posed for me for quite a while. I needed to get real close too as no telephoto lens for me. Was my first attempt at something like this – I’m pleased! 🙂

The butterfly is beautiful, good to read your message is coming from far away. I was in the hospital, my heart sometimes wants to gallop very fast, but everything is fine now, oxygen and some electric shock, increased my energy and my inner peace …

Oh Carlos -I’d wondered if you were busy these days and not blogging as much. I’m so sorry to hear about your heart issues. Scary to say the least. They better have taken good care of that warm heart of yours. I am relieved to hear you feel better and all is well. Now just take excellent care of yourself. It is the most important thing ~ Sending Love and healing prayers your way!

Thanks you Renee… glad you liked it. Was my first attempt at getting this close to a living creature can fly! Was practically on top of it:) Also glad you liked my little poem to match … was pleased with it too!

We had a large moth in the classroom flitting about all day. It landed on me as I was typing…stunning. Love your work. ~Regards, Dan
May 11, 2012 at 12:35 PM
Thanks so much Dan! Yes – these things are not easy to keep still for very long. Was your moth this pretty?? I honesty thought this was a buttefuly but of course did a bunch of google research before my post – and believe it is a moth!!! Did not know they could be so beautiful. The velvet texture and open-winged stance are features of the moth species. I learn so much by blogging 🙂 🙂 Appreciate your wondeful comment!

So delicate

so precious
