Butterflies

My July blog comes late but full of surprises! I have a huge collection of butterfly photos which I want to share some with you. I call them "flowers that flutter silently" as I always consider each butterfly a piece of art that human hands can not imitate. These magical flying creatures bring life to where they fly around - flower gardens, rushing streams, woods and even right in your midst at unexpected time. They attract little children and lovers alike as these insects symbolize love, gracefulness and beauty.

Butterflies appear in the poems of renowned poets, fascinate the beholder of famous paintings, and adorn costumes, hair wears and tapestries or embroideries. They even appear in picture stories of fairylands!

The life-span of a butterfly is short and butterfly lovers often mount these beautiful insects on picture frames to preserve their delicate and brightly colored wings of felt-like texture. Some species possess wings that could easily camouflage with their surroundings. Some even bluff their predators with the feature or design of their wings. What an amazing creation! This is God's fingerprint. Take the time to admire those fluttering creatures in your backyard.
