Majestic Colors Painted On Butterfly Wings

They float effortlessly
zigzagging,and fluttering,
so care free.

  Watching them enjoying
the savory nectars, that
ripened flowers share and
release. 

 A pallet of majestic colors
are lavishly worn.

 Orange, and blues,
lavender, and yellows 
are vividly shown.

  So many designs and
colors are painted on their
majestic beautiful
canvassed wings.

  Inspiring the great
painters to paint in the
early spring.

 They start out as a
larvae, who would have
thought?

  They would metamorphise,
into, masterpieces and leave
us completely in awe!

hey, you placed pretty high . Congrats on your well deserved win. by the way, just saw your note to me below(I rarely see replies to my replies) Anyway, I have been in Utah most of my adult life now. My daughter and her kids are here. Hubbie and I have decent jobs and are too old to look for new ones in Iowa, so I think I will be staying right where I am!!

Hi Andrea I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones. I know you struggle by being away from them. I suggest you move closer to them. Family is all we got in this world other than close friends. I read your blog on being closer to where your family are. It sounds like you want to move.
