Monarch Butterfly Magic

Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.

3 Thoughts On Creativity

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

— Edward de Bono 

 Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.

— Mary Lou Cook 

Every day is an opportunity to be creative – the canvas is your mind, the brushes and colours are your thoughts and feelings, the panorama is your story, the complete picture is a work of art called, ‘my life’. Be careful what you put on the canvas of your mind today – it matters. 

— Innerspace

Riches in Nature

To be poor and be without trees, is to be the most starved human being in the world. To be poor and have trees, is to be completely rich in ways that money can never buy.

~ Clarissa Pinkola Estés 

Celebrate Creativity

Creativity is contagious. Pass it on.

~ Albert Einstein

Start Blooming!

You don't have to be like anyone else. 
You just need to learn more about your own creative self 

and start blooming. 

~ Deborah Day

Embrace your creativity!

Painted Lady Butterfly

Dance above the surface of the world. Let your thoughts lift you into creativity that is not hampered by opinion. 

~ Red Haircrow

Butterfly Wings - Spicebush Swallowtail

To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.

~ Joseph Chilton Pearce

Wishing you a Happy and Creative Day!

Delicate Drape

When you are describing,

A shape, or sound, or tint;

Don't state the matter plainly,

But put it in a hint;

And learn to look at all things,

With a sort of mental squint.

~Lewis Carroll

Butterfly Patterns

Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way. 
~Edward de Bono

This butterfly was seen at the Butterfly Conservatory I visited in Georgia at the end of June. A tropical butterfly of some sort. I didn't have much time so I wasn't able to ID all of the ones I shot.

And on another note -

I am not a very fashion conscious person - my favorite outfit is a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and some tennis shoes - however - I definitely think the pattern and colors on this butterfly's wings would make a GREAT fabric for a dress. In fact - I bet my sister would look wonderful in it.
