Oh, you know my love for butterflies…this was Wonderful!!!!!! .Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ
Cool – love the emoticon drawing of a butterfly you did – so clever!! 🙂
They’re weird things butterflies. They start off as caterpillars, then when they pupate they don’t just grow wings and stuff, they actually turn into an amorphous goo, and then every single cell restructures itself into a butterfly. It’s actually regarded as two separate life cycles. Very odd.
Yes, odd, but the results are so beautiful!! 🙂 🙂
I love all things butterfly
So do I! Thanks!! 🙂

Brevity is life’s namesake, as well. So much, fleeting. Like this piece.
Thanks so much!! 🙂 🙂
