drawing challenge NEW THEME : butterfly

in the likelihood of valentino riding off his horse into the horizon again, i was reminded of a far more frivolous love messenger. it was alaskan polkadot petticoat {queen} who whimsically renamed these wings under glass. haul the insect world right upside down, turn it inside out, further pronounce it out loud:

do you find early spring is sometimes pregnant of a buzz, a little unreal? the morning light starting just a trifle more thrilling, sun coming up in a bolder orange flair, morning ♫churpeys♪ from our winged friends sounding gingerly cheerful; the very air holding still, for the natural spring curiosity to begin? i mean, we all got to dream a little, if it's only february still?

if like me, you would like to dance under an umbrella of lepidoptorous {love the sound of that word} polychrome, and in the action would like to get brushed by brightly coloured miracle dust, why, you might even catch john keats unawares, reciting heavenly rhyme. do join in the hopeful band of volunteering butterfly wings and sign up, sign in already. we'll be waiting in the sideline. fluttering. ♥

are flapping flutterby wings this coming weekend {18-19/02}: patrice, ariane, renilde, rosemary, jasmin, demie, victoria, leena, stephanie, tatjana, hagar, nina, julia, tania, lise, ...

  1. awwww my maternal grandmother, my Abuelita and i started exchanging butterflies early on. I gave her a butterfly brooch, she gave me a butterfly charm etc.. My Abuelito loved them and loved to paint them. Loved this post!

    I'd love to join in the flight.
    Thank you for your note. All is going well with Henry, but we have one more appointment on Friday.
    Hopefully it will be the last for a while to come, and we will all be relieved at that!
    Love

  11. hello you and thanks for the invitation! time is a tyrant, chronos unforgiving, so i have to pass the challenge, but i'll leave you with an image and a song to listen to while watching it and pondering and thinking and fluttering and thinking and pondering. what you hear are maybe the beating of wings, tiny and ominous at the same time

    all my best ~

  22. Dear Kers, I clicked on the butterfly video and it said it was blocked from my viewing? :(
    But I love butterflys and they do land on me so that must mean something.♥
