Brave little butterfly, tattered and all. You take the BEST pictures, Susan!

May your spirit keep flying, until the day you awake with your new "wings."

Incredible photos! I esp. love that first quote--I've never heard that before--so fitting.
I'm amazed (though I shouldn't be) that you 'captured' the torn wing--awesome photography depicting a great lesson in life.:>)

I love your post...and it ties in with my sister Mildred's post today, too! Wishing you a beautiful day.

Lovely photos.

When I was in Key West a couple of years ago, I went to the butterfly museum. It was fascinating. The butterfly garden has all kinds of butterflies flying about, some landing on our shoulders (which is supposed to bring good luck).

Each time I visit here I'm so blessed by how the Lord and you work so wonderfully together. Him bringing the opportunity, and then blessing you with the expertise to highlight such beauty. Your work is so special! Thank you!

You end up with an amazing way of photos of butterflies. They move so quickly sometimes that it's hard to get such a gorgeous picture. Thanks much.
