I truly appreciate the beauty of nature, and I enjoy your eye for capturing beautiful images. You don’t have to post every week; posting every second week or even monthly would be perfectly fine. With so many options to choose from, it takes time to fully appreciate each picture. There are 21 choices to go through, and I can select the images I want to save. The words "love," "compassion," and "community" resonate deeply with me, as they convey a sense of connection and empathy. I really enjoy this aspect of the network. Thanks for being awesome!

🦋 Red Admiral on Crimson & Gold
I took this image years ago. Today, it feels like it’s speaking back.
The Red Admiral—bold, weathered, resilient—rests without hurry. Its proboscis enters the flower, not as a demand, but as a quiet agreement with nourishment. This is not a moment of rush. It’s a moment of trust.
🔴 Red wraps the scene with intensity and courage. It reminds us that life asks us to show up fully—even when we’re tired, even when the path has been long. 🖤 Black traces the wings with wisdom earned, not borrowed. Survival leaves marks, and those marks can be beautiful.
💛 Yellow glows at the center—energy, nutrition, renewal. What sustains us is often simple, patient, and close at hand.
The Red Admiral doesn’t question whether it deserves this nourishment. It pauses. It connects. It receives.
🌱 Health & wellness often begin the same way. Before plans. Before action. Before change.
With a pause that says: I am allowed to be here. I am allowed to be nourished.
Looking at this image now, years later, I see more than a butterfly and a flower. I see a reminder that resilience isn’t loud. Healing doesn’t rush. And wellness isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, again and again, when nourishment is offered.
✨ Let yourself pause. ✨ Let yourself receive.
✨ Let yourself be sustained.
