Description
I really had fun on this August afternoon following a couple of Orange Sulphur butterflies around my Ohio garden. I have not changed the background or surroundings of this image at all and I really love the impression two tall purple verbena flower stems create here. It makes me think of the song from years ago, "Butterflies are Free."
Butterflies Are Free and so are we!

Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate that very much.
I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!

Karen, this is a gorgeous natural composition. It's a pod choice for me in the Best of Minimalism group.
