Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. - Nathaniel Hawthorne This little guy was very patient with me. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for comments. Dwight.

One of the best butterfly captures I've ever seen, Dwight. Great composition, perspective, and lighting on this beauty. Top marks and kudos! :)

I really like the butterfly's shadow over the flower. Nice detail and a great shot.

Nice angle on this one, and good work with the focus to get him so sharp from wingtip to wingtip. A top quality shot :-)

Beautiful close up of the butterfly Dwight and nice flowers...are they white or light purple?..I posted a pic of purple flowers from Joost with a poem of mine a few days ago if you'd like to take a peek some time...it's called Bittersweet. : Pat.

a happy addition to my screen saver! I was homeless one year, sleeping in back of pickup in an abandoned field. woke up to the fluttering sound of thousands of white cabbage butterflies. Stepped out to celebrate life with them. It was so deep and rich an experience I could only hold about 15 minutes worth before it became too much. Simple pleasures are the best. - - Thanks for the reminder, Dwight

Hello Dwight. I just happened to be passing through someone elses favorites gallery and found this image. I LOVE a good butterfly image and this is really top drawer. Added it to my collection and gave it a 10.

Boy did I miss this one 1st time around! One of the best things about this site, though, is the cream rises to the top for all to see. Wonderful detail on the butterfly feeding! Almost a year later and a 10 from me Dwight.

Thanks so much Alexis for hanging in their, and for your comments and high marks on, Now this is good, which i changed latter to Butterfly Heaven because i though the first one was a little presumptuous lol. By the way i miss a lot of images myself, you know how busy we all get sometimes. Have a nice evening. Dwight.

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. -Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
