I seem to see plenty of these fragile things drifting up to my 11th floor office tower. You describe them beautifully.
What a beautiful photograph Gemma! I love your use of selective color on it. Truly fantastic.
Thank you so much for sharing this this week at The Creative Exchange.
I wish you a wonderful day.

I can't wait for the butterflies to return in the spring. I love the pop of color on the butterfly with the neutral background.
These words definitely called for a 'fragile' subject matter and you certainly found it with your lovely shot enhancing your poem.
How beautiful - I love it!
Beautiful Gemma!
Beautiful! It's only coming on Spring here in the U.S. so we won't have butterflies for quite some time. Lovely poem and picture.
Lovely poem and beautiful golden-winged butterfly!
perfect title!
