Mossy Magic

Late January.  A gentle snow had frosted the landscape with a sugar-ice coating.  Eight friends embarked on a hike through a gorgeous forest enjoying the Wintery loveliness.
(hike to Natural Bridge, Red River Gorge, Kentucky)

Butterfly Magic

A young girl marvels at the loveliness of the pretty butterfly landing on her fingers.

Sunrise Magic

I rarely see sunrises, and this one from an airplane was awesome!

Kitty Magic

Oliver is so charming as well as the sweetest!

Flower Magic

Two black eyed susans grew together creating this strange and curious flower.  The other side (which you cannot see) looks exactly like this side.

I'm fascinated by butterflies and inspired because I'm reading Barbara Kingsolver's Flight Behavior, and..it's gardening season!

People are always enchanted with the butterflies during the  exhibit at Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati, Ohio.  I love watching the interaction.  (The first photo of this POST is of a butterfly on a girl's nose!)
