Butterflies

I’m bored, have a head cold and I’m stuck at home so I had to try and use my imagination with what I had around the house! I don’t know if I’ll keep this one up, I want to try and perfect it. It’s actually just a water drop on top of a tiny bougainvillea flower.. This can give you an idea of how tiny this actually is! Ohh, and this has not received any post processing.

Butterflies belongs to the following groups:

Art Inspired by Dreams, Macro Water Photographic Gallery, The Art of Nursing and Vibrant and Vivid Color Available for sale as
