Not a butterfly!

A tiny figure, a pixie, was poised on this spreading blossom! I think she was just resting before she flew off into the sunshine! Easier to see enlarged. She has gossamer wings!

Three good things:
1. I noticed this flower having not seen it before in the garden and it was more beautiful close up!
2. Great to be reading a good book again after struggling with so many.
3. I put as a profile on my newly joined Twitter file for me,"Retired from work but not life!

This is great, Maggiemae--I think Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would have appreciated it! Lovely processing! And I like your remark about being retired from work but not from life--that goes for me too!

@eyesmile A sweet little pixie fairy lady, Gena! She has been shopping at the same place as Yolanda - likes purple!

I always wanted a pixie in my garden. But my flowers aren't as beautiful as these. I'll have to try harder next summer!
