Love Is Like a Butterfly

"Love is like a butterfly,
As soft and gentle as a sigh.
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings.

Love makes your heart feel strange inside,
A flutter like soft wings in flight.
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing."
- Dolly Parton

The butterfly in this photo is a great spangled fritillary feasting on monarda. Its wings look silky, the patterns intricate, the colors like jewels. So tempting to try to touch it - but one step closer, and away it goes!
