WW: Orange Butterfly on Yellow Flower

Orange Butterfly Photo
"The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough."
 - Rabindranath Tagore

I'm still disappointed my camera refused to focus properly on this beautiful butterfly before it flew away from the yellow flower, but its orange wings were too stunning to forget. I may have pushed the photo's contrast levels a bit too high, but that's how bright they are in my memory.

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Linda Meyers-Gabbard for submitting the randomly chosen 702nd entry. Have you dragged your holiday decorations out of the attic and dusted off the Christmas wreath yet? One reader will win the above sterling silver band by Kate Szabone Jewellery and get to hang a wreath ring around her finger during any season. The design is reminiscent of a budding rose branch.
