Mother Nature's beautiful gifts: the sunflower & butterfly

My friend's friend took this gorgeous picture which is of 2 of my favorite "gifts" from Mother Nature: the sunflower & the butterfly.

Did you know that the Sunflower symbolizes: honesty, happiness, ambition, faith, longevity, good luck, confidence?

The butterfly symbolizes transformation & in the end the butterfly is glorious!
One of my favorite sayings was by Thoreau:
"Happiness is like a butterfly:  The more you chase it, the more it will elude you.  But if you turn your attention to other things it will come and sit softly on your shoulder."   

So this picture, which has captured both the sunflower & butterfly so beautifully, I wanted to share with you....hoping you too see & enjoy their combined beauty & important "hidden" meanings/messages.
