which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp,
but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

This beautiful yellow swallowtail was flitting around my garden this morning.
What a lovely surprise.
Enjoy your day, everyone!

I love to lie back on a lawn chair and watch the dragonflies and swallows and butterflies on a summer afternoon. Have a good weekend!
I love it when they fly into the yard going from tree to tree. Our chickens act scared and run away. Silly girls.
Aren't these the best gifts ever?! Just gorgeous :D
What a beautiful butterfly. Love the quote too. Mimi
The swallowtails are my favorite butterflies and I am blessed to have quite a few visit me...but I never seem to be able to get a photo.
Butterflies always make me smile, and the beautiful quote by Nathaniel Hawthorne...so true.
Hugs and have a great weekend,

Donna, that swallowtail is just gorgeous! I hope she visits you more often!
Beautiful, Donna...we haven't had Swallowtails this year, so I'll enjoy yours!
What a stunning beauty, and a gift of nature as reinsurance and hope.;)

What a super shot Donna! My Mom always said they were our guardian Angels in disguise...I think I believe it!
