A Kaleidoscope of Butterflies

Bougainvillea Butterflies

Haiku 61

Dancing in the breeze

Many cool pink butterflies

Kaleidoscopic

.

When I was walking round my garden the other day taking photos of the flowers, I noticed that these shots of my pink bougainvillea looked like pretty pink butterflies!

Did you know that the collective noun for a group of butterflies is Kaleidoscope?

They do look like butterflies!

When I move somewhere they would survive, bougainvillea are going to be one of the first things I plant.
