A blessing..

an Irish blessing: May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun.
And find your shoulder to light on.
To bring you luck, happiness and riches.
Today, tomorrow and beyond.

@khawbecker has such beautiful butterfly shots and said I should post mine. It is my first shot with my new camera! ... and it was taken in Ireland!

It's beautiful, Maggie. I think it's a small tortoise shell butterfly. The composition with the flowers is lovely. And your focus is spot on.

Beautiful shot, Maggie. I don't see butterflies very often so I don't have any shots of them. This is a great shot. Very pretty butterfly on a very pretty flower.
