Bf’s mom owns a piece of heaven in her garden. Her seemingly ‘hibernating’ garden will thaw from the winter frost every coming spring and bounces back to life with great speed in front of our eyes. It’s unbelievable how resilient mother nature is. It charges back to life with anew vigour and intensity as if the passing winter, which was unusually bitingly cold, was nothing but a comfortable, deep, long sleep. With each passing day, I’ll see new buds springing from every corner and petals growing bigger. With so many species of colourful plants, the garden naturally beckons some passing winged visitors. T’s mom told me that these brown coloured butterflies are actually migrating northward out of Africa at this time of the year.Certain plants in the garden seemed to attract these lovely creatures more than the other. I don’t care where these lovely, delicate beauties are heading as long as they make a stopover at the garden . There were at least six of them that day fluttering around the plants. It was a delight while barbequeing at the porch to have these winged beauties fluttering about. I was absolutely surprised to discover another type of butterfly, which reminds me very much from the one I saw in a picture taken by Stardust, with such exquisite colours on its wings. It is one thing to see these gorgeous butterflies in a commercial butterfly farm but it is totally another feeling to find them roaming about in your garden! This particular butterfly was fluttering about at high speed and it took me a great deal of patience to be as still as possible in order not to frighten it away. I wonder when I’ll see them again soon..
