What a gorgeous post, my friend, and for once I opened up the dictionary and all the words were there for me to give to you, and now I can't think of any of them..lol..

The composition, color and delicacy of the upload is so suited to a Mother's Day dedication. It's truly lovely and thanks!

Excellento Tigz. The butterfly look like you could reach out and touch it. Clarity is super. I like the framing and it will make for a great desktop. Now about you and Dusty getting together. I bet that is some kind of fun. Glad you two had a nice day. Now have a good Mother's Day tomorrow.

Oh excuse me Sandi. I thought it said Butter-fried. I was expecting some of Ticks mushrooms in a frying pan. LOL. That's a super picture of the butterfly on the flowers. Nice colors, too. Good one.

The color and the scent attracted both the butterfly and your eye and both were rewarded in turn.
