Painted Lady, the beginning

A couple of weeks ago I was out in my side garden, a beautiful Painted Lady Butterfly landed on a zinnia next to me. It was the most wonderful thing, the butterfly let me get within a couple of inches of it.  It was awesome, the Lady allowed me to observe her for two or three minutes. I was able to see the shine on its back, all the intricate designs on its wings.  I was once again reminded of the magnificent creative power of our Creator. I am now inspired to begin my next work. I am hoping, even with all my flowers, because I do love flowers, I will be able to keep the focus on the Painted Lady! I’ll keep you posted.
