The flower invites the butterfly with no-mind;
The butterfly visits the flower with no-mind.
The flower opens, the butterfly comes;
The butterfly comes, the flower opens.
I don’t know others,
Others don’t know me.
By not-knowing we follow nature’s course.

Stunning photos, the blue is so gorgeous. The underside of the wing reminds me of the eyelike pattern on a peacock feather a bit. Nature is amazing! Lovely words to pair with your photos. Wishing you a wonderful day, especially with the time change. 🙂 The first day is not so bad, for me it’s the first night and the next morning, ha-ha! ~ Mia 🙂

You’re welcome, your posts are always wonderful! Today has been good, it was just in the getting up that I felt I needed that extra hour, each day it will get better. The upside is that it stays light so much longer and I do love this time of year. I hope your day was a good one and everything went smoothly, enjoy the rest of your evening. 🙂

Thanks, was really dark with heavy fog on the drive to work this morning but turned into a beautiful sunny day. I always feel a little groggy for the first week but I’ll tough it out. 🙂 Have a wonderful evening / Tuesday morning. 🙂

Beautiful pictures. The eyes are a little creepy up close. (Maybe that’s why they work.)
