An early morning visitor

It isn't often I am able to find a lovely insect waiting for me at my door. So when this precious palette of color beckoned to come in I couldn't resist photographing it. I'm sure you will see why.


As much as I love visitors I thought I would relocate this beauty onto a plant and hope that it was able to fly away before it became breakfast for something else.


It soon flew away and was off on another journey and I was inspired by the many colors it wore. I decided to drag my paints out and work on a project with endless possibilities.

  1. That moth (butterfly - I don't know the difference) is beautiful. It looks like someone painted on the outer wings. The inner wing "eyes" would definitely make a predator think twice before approaching. Excellent pictures.
