I would like to dedicate this capture to our very good friend Cornelius, and his lovely wife.
I have been keeping in touch with him through email some, and in response to my last email to him, he said I could share his message with you all.
Hello Sandi, Thanks for your Email. Your sincere concern is highly appreciated by me. With respect to the medical situation of my dear wife, I like to say that the situation is bad. The cancer is spread out widely now. This makes a further X-ray and surgery treatment impossible. The doctors have said that she can't heal anymore. We don't know how much time she still has to go. Mid November the doctors will decide for chemo therapy, in order to try to give her some more days. Although it's rather heavy, I will take care for her as long as I can. Warm regards of your Dutch Caedes friend Cornelius.
Thank you for your comments, and kind words for a very dear Caedes friend.
Tigs♥ =^..^=

Very sorry to hear the news about Cornelius's wife Sandi. I wish him sufficient courage and strength to get through these hard times and to face the future without his wife. I had PMed him but got no reply because he is absent from caedes.
A beautiful butterfly with very good clarity and colours.

Heart wrenching, Tigz. I have had him and his wife on my mind, and in my prayers quite often.
A wonderful presentation and thank you for relaying the, although tragic, information.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
I have been keeping in touch with Sir C by email too Sandi. Such a sad time.... The beauty of this shot is something his dear wife would truly love and I know Sir C would appreciate as well. My thoughts and prayers are with them daily.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
Sandi - Prayers have been constant for Cornelius and his wife. Thank you for the news, though it is difficult for them. Your photo is a beautiful tribute. When I first started looking at Caedes posts, it was Cornelius' butterfly shots that grabbed my attention. So, for me, this is very special. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
What a beautiful tribute to Cornelius and his dear wife. I am sure they will love the photo. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family...
Great shot, Sandi. Crisp and clear! The textures of this little guy are so real that you almost feel like you can reach out and touch it.

Wonderful butterfly, I've never seen it before. I like it. I love the flower, too.

Beautiful photograph Sandi. You really captured the delicacy of its wings in this one, which is quite fitting with the tribute. My prayers are with Cornelius and his wife in this very difficult time.

I was hoping that no news was good news as is sometimes said. I do hope they are given the strength necessary to deal with the days ahead. Thank you for keeping us updated, Sandi. When next you speak to Cornelius, please let him know that he and his family are in my prayers.
Beautiful black swallowtail. Lovely shot.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
