These wonderful butterfly moments were brought to you by the Botanical Gardens in Phoenix. :)

I know it’s my imagination but I swear as I watch a butterfly flutter by me, I feel the air move and ripple around me.

And finally, here’s a sweet little poem that sums up a butterfly.

“The butterfly, a cabbage-white,
(His honest idiocy of flight)
Will never now, it is too late,
Master the art of flying straight.”
~Robert Graves, "Flying Crooked"

Beautiful--great captures.
Of course you can feel the ari around you swirl as a butterfly floats on by you. It's a natural thing.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Enjoy the day. MB
