Small Wings, Beautiful Moments

Over the past few months, I’ve been lucky enough to photograph a variety of butterflies here in Cyprus.
Some are common, others less so, but each one has its own unique beauty.

From bright yellows to warm oranges and soft whites, each butterfly has its own unique colours, patterns and character. Here are a few of my favourites.

Looking at these photographs afterwards, I realised that almost every butterfly is facing the same direction.
I certainly didn’t plan that – it just happened!

Butterflies aren’t the only visitors to Cyprus’ colourful wildflowers.

      Thank you, Brian! 😊 I hope I’ll get the chance to visit Australia one day. I’d love to photograph some of your beautiful butterflies… but Madagascar is still at the top of my travel wish list! 😉

        Oh yes, Madagascar has Lemurs. Australia is just down the Indian Ocean from there so that could be a stop over 😁

          Thanks, Brian! 😄 That would be the perfect combination – lemurs in Madagascar and butterflies in Australia. One can always dream! 😊

            Dreams can come true.
            BTW I saw on the news this morning something about a disagreement between the Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots and the United Nations Secretary General holding talks.
            Is the trouble brewing?

              Hi Brian! Everything is calm here. As Cyprus is currently holding the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, there are a number of high-level meetings taking place. The talks are part of the ongoing efforts to find a solution to the Cyprus issue, but life here feels just as normal as always. Hopefully, they’ll make some progress.

              I guess the “conflict” has been going for a long time as long as it doesn’t escalate, things will be fine Anita.

    Åter ett så vackert fjärilsinlägg! Väljer ingen favorit, varje bild kompletterar fjärilsbuketten.
