Sunday Serenity


Happiness is like a butterfly which, 
when pursued, 
is always beyond our grasp, but, 
if you will sit down quietly, 
may alight upon you.

    What a beautiful Spicebush Swallowtail! Aren't they a sight to behold, when they swirl around?
    Have a great weekend!
    Cheers, Klaus

    That really is gorgeous. And the quote is perfect. True. Hard to master this idea, but so satisfying once it's done!

    I love the comparison to happiness, and the photo is great! Such a perfect bit of beauty...happiness waiting to land and pose if we just wait for it.
