Thoughts arrive like butterflies...

Thanks to Pearl Jam's "Evenflow" for the title of this post.

This afternoon, I was able to capture some beautiful shots of butterflies with my Canon 80D camera, using a 75 - 300 mm lens. 

I continue to be fascinated by this vibrantly colored insect. When I see this creature, a famous quote often comes to mind. That quote goes as follows:

"I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?"

~ Zhuangzi, a 4th century BC Chinese philosopher

Here are the shots of those butterflies that I was able to capture:

Truly a fascinating creature. If you haven't been out in nature in a while, do so. It gives you a sense of calmness and serenity. A wonderfully peaceful place.

I love butterflies and whenever I see one it is usually when I am thinking of one of my loved ones who have passed. Little angels coming to say "Hello"
