That bright colorful blue butterfly is awesome. They're all beautiful of course, but wow....the blue is super.

Happy Thursday.

Susan Helene Gottfried said...

That blue one's a blue morpho, isn't it? Parents of Diego fans everywhere know THAT butterfly!

They are simply gorgeous. We get butterflies here, but not that variety. I love to watch them flit around the yard.

These are gorgeous. It makes me want to revisit the Butterfly Conservatory. Happy T13!

Susan Demeter said...

These are gorgeous, and I love butterflies. My sister on the other hand has an intense phobia about them...she would not be so appreciative of this entry ;)

Guess what I posted today? The butterfly was my random theme (oxymoron?). A couple of years ago I saw a green butterfly. It wasn't a moth. Beautiful shots that make me smile!

Karen said...

Just lovely--I always keep butterflies in mind when I'm putting in annuals and planting perennials--I love it when they visit!

kay said...

Yes, we should take time to smell the roses---and---see the butterflies! Beautiful.

Betty said...

I loved seeing all the beautiful butterflies you have shown here. That was a nice take for Thursday Thirteen. I have posted thirteen things about me beginning with the letter "P".

These are beautiful..I've always loved butterflies, they're so graceful.
When I was very little, one landed on my arm and sat there for a few minutes (although to me it seemed like hours)- my father told me it was lucky to have one land on you and I've loved them ever since! I remember sitting so still and trying not to breath!

Thanks for a beautiful T13.

I love those butterflies.
I was sitting on a small trailer near a garden summer 06 and a butterfly came and landed on my hand.
So I just relaxed and let it visit for a while. It was fun to have a butterfly drop in and say howdy.

I really like your pictures on the side bar too.

You might enjoy this post I made. Pictures from a friend halfway round the world, but the poem is mine ... see link below. Have a blessed day!!!

To everybody – Thanks so much for dropping by my T-13 this week and leaving your comments. I’m delighted everyone enjoyed the butterfly collages so much. Actually I found these photos at Flickzzz and thought them lovely. I used Picasa to create the collages because I was short on time. I’ve been to some of your T-13s and will visit the rest as time permits (when this old workhorse cooperates). I’m having trouble with Google Reader and Gmail too, but very soon I should receive my NEW laptop and all should be well again. If your email is available, I'll do my best to respond. Hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend!
Hugs and blessings,

These are absolutely beautiful. Are they your pictures?

Tina Coruth said...

Storyteller,

I love these collages! Butterflies are so beautiful!

Hugs,
Tina

storyteller said...

Cricket – I’m glad you enjoyed them. Nope … not mine. All I did was ‘collage’ and share them Thursday. They’re from Flickzzz … a site with all kinds of WONDEFUL photos always.

Tina – I thought the butterflies were beautiful too … and using them for my T-13 seemed a great way to share with others. Seems like everyone enjoyed them as much as you and me.

Thanks to both of your for dropping by. Hope you’re having a delightful day!
Hugs and blessings,

Le Butterfly said...

storyteller said...

Simone – Me too! I’m glad you enjoyed these and thanks for commenting here. I hope you have a marvelous Monday!
Hugs and blessings,
