Project 365/248 – On Delicate Wings
On the delicate wings of life. Traveling on the pathways with elegance and grace. Flitting from one beautiful blossom to the next searching for sweet nectar. With brief lives, each moment is lived to its fullest. Each of us a butterfly, with unique beauty, colors and personality. A […]
