“Come to think of it, butterfly watching is a mindfulness exercise. You have to be in the moment. My butterfly time was so rewarding I can pull up the feeling, like an app, and relive that happiness.”
“Unless you are a butterfly expert, you probably wouldn't believe how tiny this species is. But seeing is believing.... I am SO glad that these little miniature 'sparks of color' catch my eye, despite their ability to blend in unnoticed.... Simply stunning reveals!!!”
