Colorful Flashes



              yellow and black flash
        almost touching my shoulder
                    tiger swallowtail

Just delightful, Heidi! Butterfly wings do flash as they flit in the wind. I had a butterfly land on my shoulder once and I was so surprised, and enchanted, I could hardly breathe, let along move, hoping to remain in that enchanted moment! Blessings.
