A very special friend of mine, can use our prayers and well wishes today, so I am dedicating this to him, to me butterflies have such an uplifting beauty, also the colors in this the
red
white
and blue
hues, I hope can lift us all as a new President is sworn in tomorrow and we all welcome him and his family to their new home in Washington D.C.
We are experiencing our first snow fall of the new year, and it is so beautiful here as the snow drifts down, when I looked out today and saw that it certainly uplifted my spirits. My friend I am holding your hand and with you today in my thoughts.
Thank you for your visits and comments to my latest upload.

As my daughter would say......if you don't have hope then you won't try. This is such a beautiful photo! We've had our share of snow but nothing to make snow balls with.
I prayed for your friend. Such a beautiful foto. I love the softness of the shot. 5+
I am very sorry to hear of your friend, may he or she receive the comfort and love they need, and may their heart find rest & I hope this beautiful image brings beauty to them...It's a beautiful dedi, and the image is quite shimmering. I'm looking full-view & it's like a painting, with many kinds of light, many kinds of reflection, and a butterfly that seems made out of star stuff. I hope this sends light and shimmer to your friend. All my best to you too...Blessings your way & your friend's way, Mark (ps, I'm ecstatic about the new president too. Seems like a shift is taking place. Let's hope it lasts...)
