A Sweet Treat

Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp,
but~if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

i simply love butterflies, they're so beautiful in their tiny, fragile bodies. i miss seeing them here. we don't have as many circulating. maybe i'm just in the wrong location. hope all is well.

Wonderful capture, great "processing" in that it suits the image soooo well. Ha an almost "olde worlde" look.
