This is ... my favourite thing from nature



My favourite thing from nature is a colour ... this iridescent blue. I'm sure I could admire it from now until the day I die and still think that it is one of the most exquisite things I have ever seen.

I took this photo at the gorgeous Niagra Parks Butterfly Conservatory in Ontario, Canada (it was probably my only hope of ever seeing this colour up close!).

This week's This is theme was chosen by the delightful Beth from Cloth and Fodder. What she doesn't know about gardening and other pursuits of the natural world, really isn't worth knowing! Thank you to our lovely host Angela over at Three Buttons. Drop on over to her blog to see who else is playing along.

  11. It's an amazing colour, and no jewel or artwork can really get it like a butterfly. It would be nice if you could train one to sit on your lapel, like a brooch!
