Sunday Safari - Le Farfalle

Marie-Blanche-Hennelle Fournier, photocollage page from The Madame B Album, 1870s

This morning by the river Arno I saw the season's first butterfly: 

small and pale yellow, visiting the hidden pleasures of a bright yellow flower.

Such a delightful and comforting encounter!
