Ripples Upon the Water

Butterfly feet touch 'pon water
Lightly it disturbs then ripples
Definitely it did not totter
Slowly the rings become triples
Ripples controlled by the potter

Maybe its just my poetry mind overthinking things but I see the ripples on the water being compared to clay on the potter's wheel expanding and growing in rings. Nice work Sara! Cheers - Gary

Lovely scene and lovely image ! Usually I watch dragonflies touching the water with their hair like legs forming ripples in the water surface.

Valsa, I agree I have never seen a butterfly do this. Probably a person who knows how to overlay one photo onto another did this and it probably is not the real thing, but I liked it. Thanks for the visit. Sara
