Lavender and the Butterfly ~ 6-13-11


Lavender and the Butterfly
If you enlarge the picture, I think you will see a “happy couple” instead of just the single butterfly. Not until I read one of the comments did I realize there were actually two on the flower. Amazing!

    Just realized that it is not one but two butterflies.
    And music in the background.

    What a cool photo! Funny, I thought to myself, why does this guy have so many feelers? LOL- then I figured it out.

    What an exquisite photograph and a nice use of background texture, too. I didn't know that there were two until I looked very close. That's pretty cool! Commenters are so helpful that way.
