Ruby Tuesday - Little Things

I have little bits of the color red to share from the butterfly exhibit at Tucson Botanical Gardens. Both local and tropical plants and butterflies live inside the warm greenhouse.

"The butterfly is a flying flower,
The flower a tethered butterfly."
~Ponce Denis Écouchard Lebrun


"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly,
"one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."
~Hans Christian Anderson

"This magnificent butterfly finds a little heap of dirt and sits still on it;
but man will never on his heap of mud keep still." ~Joseph Conrad

"The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough." ~Rabindranath Tagore

"Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life. And everyone deserves a little sunshine." ~Jeffrey Glassberg

Ruby Tuesday is a fun photography meme where participants post pictures featuring a little or a lot of the color red. To see more posts from around the world, visit Ruby Tuesday at Work of the Poet hosted by Mary T.
