Nature's Touch Monday: The Butterflies

"Everyone is like a butterfly,

they start out ugly and awkward

and then morph into beautiful graceful butterflies

that everyone loves."

- Drew Barrymore

 “Life is short
 If you doubt me,
ask a butterfly.
Their average life span
is a mere five to fourteen days.” 

- Ellen DeGeneres

It was really fascinating to see and witness butterflies especially here in our place which is considered suburban already. So when I found one, I try to grab my cam and took some shots.

The Clouds of Pansol

"Clouds and darkness surround us,

yet Heaven is just, and the day of triumph will surely come,

when justice and truth will be vindicated."

- Mary Todd Lincoln 

"Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky,
are best relieved by the letting of a little water."
- Christopher Morley

These shots were taken during our search for a venue in our company summer outing in Brgy. Pansol, Calamba, Laguna.

Flower Power Tuesday: White Angel in the Sky

“He said that we belonged together because he was born with a flower
and I was born with a butterfly and that 
flowers and butterflies need each other for survival.” 
- Gemma Malley, The Declaration

White Angel Flower in the Sky

"That though the radiance which was once so bright
be now forever taken from my sight.
Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor
in the grass, glory in the flower. 
We will grieve not, 
rather find strength in what remains behind."
- William Wordsworth

White Angel Flower in Sunset

I took this photo in different perspective. This is what I learned in reading photography books. Capture flowers in an unusual angle.

I framed the first white angel flower from under taking advantage of the blue sky as my background while in the other one, I used the setting sun as my background.

Which of the two is more dramatic?
