Madame Butterfly

As I walked with the dogs this morning a butterfly danced around me.  At times she came so close I could have touched her, and then she spied the zinnias blooming in the sun.  She said goodbye to me and hello to the old maids.

I had my phone in my pocket and holding my breath I went to camera mode.  She never  moved.
I could have taken ten or fifteen pictures, she posed on that flower just for me.  Her beauty and willingness to be so close to me took my breath.

My transformation today, such a beautiful, fragile creature trusted me to share space with her.
What a gift.
