This LO was made as a special surprise for Laura, aka Mrs. Bean, who is celebrating her journey to wellness this month. The scene depicted was altered for us by my sweet, caring friend, LaceyKat. Thank you so much, Alvie. You captured the moment beautifully for us.
In 2010, while out in our boat, a large number of Monarch butterflies flew overhead, on their migration route south. Some of them found a resting place on Laura for a few minutes. I have never seen anything like that before or since. Unfortunately, I had left my camera at the house that day and missed a wonderful photo opportunity. With Laura recreating her pose, and Alvie editing the pic by adding the butterflies, we were able to recreate the scene for this LO almost exactly!
A personal journal can be revealed by pulling the leaf behind the flowers at the top of the page.
Laura, may you continue to get well and enjoy many more years of all life has to offer.
Thanks to all who leave a comment for me. Your thoughtfulness is always appreciated.
