Butterfly in a Dream

Butterfly in a Dream
(big on black will fill your world with the peace this image provides!)

It's a frosty, foggy, muddy, bone-chilling wasteland outside so I thought I'd add some warmth to the day! Here's a picture that glows with the luscious bright greens of springtime starring a lovely butterfly--a flower on the wing!--for us to enjoy. :)

Tomorrow is the inauguration of a man who's actually capable of leading our country but it's hard not to feel a lot of anxiety about this otherwise fabulous day. What with promised riots and violence, the outrageous exit of the disrespectful, spoiled brat has the nation on edge. I'm doing what I can to virtually stick my head in the sand because I'd really like to let the next couple of weeks go by without a thought. Unchecked, my head reels with frightening images and leaves me feeling very off-kilter about our country and the people that make up its population.

Thanks for your great comments about where you and your country are in line for a vaccine. I was fascinated to read of your experiences. Will we all get a vaccine before the growing number of mutations negate their efficacy? Let's hope so!

Stay safe everyone and have a lovely day!

An oasis of calm in trying times..............I love this Janet...........such an exquisite capture!

I really hope everything goes well for the inauguration of your new President (although part of me would like to see Trump dragged out from the White House by the Secret Service and dumped on the lawn).

Take care :-)

Yes I'm glued to CNN who seem to have the right way of recording the news. I gather Fox News etc are being pummelled by the press for being too far into Trump's rhetorics. At first I wasn't too sure of Biden, I felt you needed another strong President to counter-act Trump, but Biden is a really nice man. I love the way he is with his staff, and he seems to really consider the people and how they have been let down so much. I must admit, I'll be on tenterhooks tomorrow, but I hope the rioters don't get far once they've got to Washington. They are horrible people.

The picture is absolutely gorgeous. Just the kind of picture we need on cold rainy days like today

A blue butterfly as a reminder of summer. We must not give up hope that everything will turn out well: that the new president will pacify the USA and that medicine will defeat the virus, even in its new variant, with a great effort.

Your beautiful argus is quite similar to our little blue acmons and other related species. Aren't we lucky to see them! :)

What a pretty picture, Janet!!!!

BTW, the fruits are not rose hips. They are edible fruits of a tree- Syzygium jambos :-)
You can check on the net....just for info.

Mooi gezegt--maar iik geloof dat de mutaties winnen
men zegt hier NL dat we corona beheerst hebben eerst in het najaar-als dat klopt duurt de pandemie toch nog twee jaar of langer en komt de tijd in de buurt van de afschuwelijke tijden uit de middeleeuwen toen de pest heerste---ik ben er BANG voor --in Maart aanstaande zit ik EEN jaar binnen-laat mijn online eten eens per 14 dagen bezorgen door de supermarkt en zit voor de rest HIER naar de pc te staren --EN HOPEN !
Groeten en blijf gezond!

What a truly gorgeous photo, Janet. It is certainly different from what you have written about. At least you know that your country is a lot safer now than at any time in the past four years. I never saw the inauguration as I was rushed into hospital. I haven't heard of any big problems happening, so fingers crossed it should be a lot happier country.
