A Sweet Butterfly

It was the perfect day yesterday I was sitting out in the backyard with my laptop doing some work, when this little friend came flying around me. I'm not sure what kind of butterfly she/he is, but I sure enjoyed the distraction. Every time I tried to snap a picture he/she would flutter to the next branch, before I knew it we were playing a game of catch me if you can.

"You can chase a butterfly all over the field and never catch it.
But if you sit quietly in the grass, it will come and sit on your shoulder."
~Anonymous~

Enjoy your day my friends!

What a lovely butterfly, coming to act as a diversion from your work!

Francesca, I LOVE quotes and collected them over the years, or sometimes I get creative and come up with my own.
Also, friends have given me books filled with wonderful quotes. This past Sunday I received a wonderful book from a special (blog) friend Patricia.

Patricia, Thank you! We all need a butterfly magical moment in our day. Yeah that is a photo he/she finally let me take of them.

Cindy, Thank you so much! That means a lot to hear from someone as yourself with a creative eye behind the lens.

Sweet Deb, you are so kind.

Kathy, it was that little inner voice that pulled me outside to work on the laptop for a few hours. I'm glad I listened to it this time

Since it looks like it has be decided I need hop on over and change my title for today's post.
Enjoy! xoxo

If we just stop and be silent we can find joy everywhere. Catch me if you can with a butterfly, I love it.

Have a great day.

Wow, that was an exceptionally beautiful one, too! Hmmm....you think your "special" butterfly?
I think maybe....playing games with you! Nice place to do your work. This is my favorite weather...warm during the day. YOu can keep the windows open and sleeping is perfect...can have a comforter on. See you later ;-)
Love, G
