No D Day 2011: Painted Lady Prose

Thanks to the amazing Ninjabetic, No D Day is once again in full force. Today many of the Diabetes bloggers are writing about anything but diabetes!
As for yours truly, I'm writing about Painted Ladies - The fantastical butterflies fly to a warmer climate each and every fall and are literally everywhere I look come late September and early October.

These beautiful Painted Ladies make me smile and they make me happy and I LOVE THEM.
I started taking pictures of them last year and I like what I captured in my lens.

And then the butterflies inspired some prose and I decided to share both with you!

Painted Lady Butterflies sitting on daisies,
Painted Lady Butterflies behaving like.... Well, ladies.

They Flitter around and make me smile,

Flittering by my garden - stopping if only for a while.

It's amazing what these Painted Ladies will let you see...If you sit completely stil and let them be.

I snap their picutes, then sigh and say goodbye.
Knowing it will be anther year before I get another chance to say "Hi."
Travel well my lovely ladies - I'll see you next fall.

Goodbye my painted Ladies & love & kisses too you all!
