3. Very nice shot. Did you catch this guy (or girl) when he was flying?

   • Thank you. No, I never catch them, I just let them fly around me.

     • I meant to ask “did you take the photograph when the butterfly was flying? “

4. impressive.

   The question do you feel a presence is one that always interests. I often struggle with feeling there is more around me.

   • I used to question but no more, I just embrace whatever I feel and believe. It is a personal question and feeling. We are all different.

10. You did a great job here. Lovely catch… I used to experience this and even catch them softly way back in my childhood. We have lots of butterflies here but no so colorful.

    • Thanks, and what great memories you have.

11. Such a lovely butterfly. I have heard that butterflies sometimes also bring a greeting from those who have passed on but of course, we can not know the message if any, just that it is comforting to know they say hi. There was a butterfly that came very late in the season to our garden in Latvia and my late husband held it on his hand, I was lucky to get photos. It seemed that there was more than just a greeting, perhaps some special message or warning because that butterfly did not want to say goodbye. He stayed around us for quite a long time,

    • They were ll over, almost swarming, so excited. They didn’t visit like this back in the summer. Getting ready to leave i guess. One reason for having this garden is to attract these angelic visitors. I truly believe in a message and presence. What a story you have as well.

12. Not many butterflies here. There was one that had come inside I gently chased it away. I was afraid the cats would catch it.

    I have never experienced butterflies swarming all over me the way you have described. Is it a first time for you?

    1

    • Yes it is the first time so many did this. And in October, ver unusual. They are usually gone way before now.

13. The beautiful butterflies have come to you with a pleasant surprise

    • Yes they were all around me, I know my dear son was there as well.

14. I found that there are a lot of small things around us, especially when we step into to the nature and notice them. I didn’t notice or they just didn’t exist when I was hiding inside the office or just buildings almost all day long, but didn’t go to the park or near the nature. 😀
