BUTTERFLIES…everyone deserves a little sunshine!!
“Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life. And everyone deserves a little sunshine. “
Jeffrey Glassberg
The past few days have seen a nice change in the weather and have brought forth plenty of happy butterflies. I love to sit with a book in the garden, watching these fascinating creatures flutter around. The brown one on top, a little one (an inch!) has my favourite colours…beige/khaki & black . The one below , was discovered by my son, fast asleep in the Currypatta tree (Botanical name – Murraya koenigi) in the backyard…the colours reminded me of Halloween!
“I’ve watched you now a full half-hour;
Self-poised upon that yellow flower
And, little Butterfly! Indeed
I know not if you sleep or feed.
How motionless! – not frozen seas
More motionless! and then
What joy awaits you, when the breeze
Hath found you out among the trees,
And calls you forth again!”
William Wordsworth, ‘To a Butterfly’
“The caterpillar does all the work but the butterfly gets all the publicity.” Attributed to George Carlin
