Butterflies are one of the most mesmerizing species in the world. I can’t stop watching them flutter. While physicists are trying to uncover how subtle differences in the crystals of butterfly wings create stunningly varied patterns of color, we designers can count on these for color inspirations! I feel sad when I hear about butterfly populations declining. Let’s hope these thrive for generations to come. I’ve also written on brilliant colors toucans and colors in fall season– all in appreciation of the spectacular colors of “Mother Nature”.

Gorgeous! I got some good butterfly shots a few years back from a butterfly staying around long enough for me to do so and I still remember the magic feeling / they are so special 🙂
You have such a wonderful variety in this post…Nature’s Jewels 🙂

Beautiful colors! Wow…wish some would come my way! The colors make me want to go quilt! I get hummingbirds (I have 3 feeders) at my house/patio and when the sun shines on their feathers they have the most beautiful bright shiney colors of all shades!
Vidya Sudarsan says
