It’s a wonderful day
to look beyond the crime of politics
and, instead, perceive things without measure,
while realizing that simple, pure things are
(the only real treasure).

Thank you much for the Reblog, Ana!
To hell with politics! 🙂
Beautiful composition, lupinne and butterfly! 🙂
Many thanks, Marcela!
To hell with politics! 🙂
completely true, Thomas, kind regards Mitza
Thank you, Mitza! The U.S.A. cares little about the environment (really).
To hell with politics! 🙂
Yes, Thomas, I know that. It’s only a little better here, but money is always the most important and they don’t think about their grandchildren which will have to live in a polluted environment 😬
Yes, it’s money before kids, life, and family… and (here) it’s fine to throw kids in cages and to keep adding carbon to the violent winds.
Right on, Tom!
We needed something like this today, Sandy.
To hell with politics! 🙂
Well done!
What a world! Thanks, Belinda!
To hell with politics! 🙂

To hell with politics! 🙂
They really are! 🙂
Yes indeed, Nicole!
To hell with politics! 🙂
Now THAT is a beautiful thing! What a beautiful blue butterfly – stunning to behold and glad you showed us this little treasure. It is a sight for sore eyes after viewing all the political vitriole for way too long. My eyes needed to alight on something nice.
Yes, we are sick of the stupidity that is flourishing in U.S. politics. The butterfly is a welcome change. To hell with politics! 🙂
It sure is a welcome change – especially after that happened at the White House, the day after the election. SMH
Beautiful composition Tom! And poem! Especially this day and age!
A little beauty away from all of the ugliness! Thanks, Sabine! To hell with politics! 🙂
I agree! 🙂
Yes! This is such a wonderful thought. And a beautiful photo. Thank you!
Thanks, ESA! To hell with politics! 🙂
