butterfly or moth, Koi, pond
On Sunday, we took the ferry and crossed over to Seattle to visit the space needle. From there we visited the tropical butterfly house at the Pacific Science Center. The wings are such a beautiful, iridescent blue. I am not sure if this is a butterfly or a moth:)

Time just slows down when I watch these flutter by.

That is stunning! I love butterflies, I could watch them flutter by for hours! But if a moth came my way, I would run the other way! They terrify me!

Spectacular...look at those shimmering almost peacock-blue wings... I would love to be that blue for a day. :o) This image is just dazzling, Juana... What a special moment to see this wonderful creature. As you know from my video, I have a thing for butterflies. ;o) I used not to like moths--you know those place, uncolorful ones, but I appreciate them more. They may not be a glamorous-looking as butterflies but they are relative! We're off to Vienna for a few days. See you back in blogland soon! Happy Days ((HUGS))

An utterly magic shot! The vibrance of the colours is incredible. Lovely!
Hi Juana, I can really relate when you were studying and said "How can anyone be creative with all these restrictions?" This is how I felt too, like punching inside a bag. I studied Chinese watercolour and calligraphy and also watercolour ( spelling is cause I am Australian ) Currently not painting but blogging and photographing. When I see your site I think I might pick up a paint brush again.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
