The White Butterflies

a dozen white butterflies flit through green leaves on the trees the contrast of their colours draws your eyes to them the ballet of butterflies floating on the summer breeze holding my rapt attention as I watch in awe bright sun on green summer leaves by turns, in shadow and light the stark white of butterflies enhances the scene

Colors of green and white together remind me of my high school's colors. Good trio of dodoitsu entries.
