A fall-colored butterfly stops to rest on a pile of leaves blown down by the storm. For a caption, all I could think of was the poem by Robert Frost, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, slightly modified to suit.

Hi, I love what you do. Particularly enjoyed the rainy day in the old town with the colourful umbrellas. Also wanted to let you know about my new website, Sydney daily snap. Cheers, Nathalie http://sydneydailysnap.blogspot.com/
What lovely colour contrast! Frost: Nothing Gold Can Stay would also work.
Patience was certainly rewarded with this shot! (I was there while MarieMcC waited as the butterfly opened and closed its wings.)
P.S. You took this one just for me, right!
Awww! What a beautiful photo! I love it!
great shot of the butterfly. very lovely colours..
Very beautiful nature shot!
I’m experiencing fall through your pictures. Nice.
This is lovely. Butterflies are a wonder of the world. Thanks for this moment of wonder.
really nice clean shot. So serene.
Isn’t it great when the butterfly poses for that one split second and you are actually able to capture it? Great shot.
Nathalie, Kate, thank you!
Passante, of course it was for you!! 😉
Thank you all for your kind words, for stopping by to visit and for taking the time to leave a note.
