NATURE NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE…a pallette of colours!

‘Take nothing but pictures.
Leave nothing but footprints.
Kill nothing but time.’
Motto of the Baltimore Grotto, a caving society

The ‘Peacock‘ butterfly I think…this lovely creature visited us a couple of days ago. The colours were simply amazing, & so I had to chase DH to chase the butterfly to take a picture as it was far too high for me. Just couldn’t believe the beauty and balance of such a perfect,little creature.
“Just living is not enough,” said the butterfly,
“One must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.”
Hans Christian Anderson
And then came along this little yellow one, like a burst of sunshine!

And how could I leave out the khaki dragonfly?

I seemed to have touched so many colours in the span of a few hours…

THE DRAGONFLY…

“Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragonfly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky.”
Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Silent Noon
The Dragonfly…
Look who was kind enough to drop by when I was airing out the Jaipuri throws yesterday. This dragonfly had plenty of beans, and was zipping around like it was enjoying the sun! Unfortunately I couldn’t get closer…am sure I will one day, and get a better picture (& hopefully a better camera too). This fellow seemed to enjoy my ‘melting’ company (the sun was HOT!) and kept coming back again & again.
These creatures are absolutely fascinating, with boundless energy, hovering around like miniature helicopters!
(Off to bake a cake today for the parent’s anniversary. Its gonna be a Pineapple Cream Cake on popular demand. Pictures tomorrow hopefully!)
