The colors of the forest edge - a photo on Flickriver

From my archives

How lovely is this place, located on one of the many paths I regularly take when I want to discover the small beauties of nature. I knew that there at the edge of the forest there were such beautiful flowers and I also hoped to see butterflies dancing with them. And I was richly rewarded because the bright orange butterflies kept coming by these beautiful flowers to get nectar. A beautiful spectacle that nature offered me here, which gave me so much joy. It takes so little and if you don't completely close your eyes to such moments, you will be filled with great gratitude and return home satisfied.

"We marvel at the beauty of a butterfly, but so seldom appreciate the changes it has had to go through to become so beautiful."
Maya Angelou

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
