Oh Maria, I am very sorry to see you go. I have long enjoyed and admired your beautiful images and very much appreciated your willingness to help with my own occasional butterfly identification. Lovely farewell image -- the butterfly is so pretty against the petals of this orchid. Wish you all the best. #1351312

Ah, ever true to your inherent Gypsy nature, like the butterflies you love so dearly, you are off to new places and new experiences in this vast garden we call Life...and maybe you will even have time on the way to leisurely read a book, as I know you've missed that luxury dearly! :) I can't imagine BP without you....but maybe like a butterfly, you'll take a leisurely trip around the neighborhood and come back for another taste of BP....you and your wonderful captures (like the beautiful one you posted today) will be missed. Estar bien y feliz, my friend. #9220653
