In memory

Compton Tortoiseshell butterfly (detail, watercolor)
You won't see many of these butterflies in our state; perhaps in the Panhandle area of northern Florida.  I selected this butterfly painting to post because it's something that my Auntie Lo would have loved to spot on one of her past walks.  She passed this last week, and I felt the need to commemorate her life in some way.

She loved nature, and was always a positive and loving presence in my life.  I was fortunate to have a  visit with her last October, and to hug her one last time.  Thank you, Auntie Lo.

    So sorry to hear about your loss. Your Auntie would be thrilled to see this watercolor for sure. It looks like a photograph.

    I'm sorry for your loss, Elizabeth. I have an aunt I am close to, also, and she is very special to me. The butterfly is a lovely memorial and I'm sure your aunt would appreciate it.
