The quiet presence!

 


A Bulbul, a rose flower, and a Pschye Butterfly were the first sights I noticed in the garden when I returned home after two days. Anna too have been away. This happened after  acknowledging the attention seeking barks of Dulcie and Daphne !

I felt truly welcomed by the barks of the dogs and the sights of these visitors in the garden!

The psyche Butterfly (Wandering Snowflake) is often difficult to photograph as they keep fluttering without needing a respite! This species of butterfly fly over the grass ands rarely leaves the ground. 


 They feed on nectar in small flowers. 

I felt good in having been able to get a photograph after sever attempts and watch it feed and rest after feeding. 

It is perhaps 1.5 cm long ! It has its own habitat and behaviour!

It is encouraging to know that a small butterfly also finds its place in the garden!

This is a profound message of hope when life is denigrated and dehumanised by rulers of the world by going to war !

The earth offers a place even to the smallest of beings!

Will the leaders of Israel consider that Palestinians are also entitled for a physical space to live !
