A Kaleidoscope of Butterflies

I saw them in the sunlight hovering above the fragrant bushes on our street. So many different hues of them! It was inspiring. Beautiful bright ballerinas drawn to scents so sweet were for me a wondrous and surprising treat. So many kinds I witnessed; some rather large, some small. On one shrub were butterflies pink-winged, but mostly blue. Across the street were some that seemed dressed up for the fall with golden flecks and orange streaks; then right around me flew a group of twirling black-striped green ones ; soon my wonder grew! Mysteriously, each multi-colored group began to drift together with the other groups, but why? I only could surmise that when I saw them all together readying to lift into the sky, it was a gift meant only for my eyes - art in graceful motion ascending - a kaleidoscope of butterflies.
