The butterfly is a flying flower,
the flower a tethered butterfly.
~Ponce Denis Écouchard Lebrun

So I saw this flying flower resting on a tethered butterfly in a nature park in Rockanje, the southern Netherlands. This tranquil green place is by the sea, not far from the city Rotterdam.
The close-up shot is my entry to Flamingirl’s 7 DAYS MACRO-PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST 3 🐜 and Qurator’s Photo Friday competition. Do you like photography too? Feel free to join the fun! :)
Here are another 2 photos of the same butterfly, not so macro as the first one, but to show you a bigger picture of its environment and the different angles.

这是我在荷兰南部的一个自然保护区里拍到的蝴蝶。
一位法国诗人曾写到：
蝴蝶是舞动的花儿，
花儿是挽住的蝴蝶。

想起中国古代也有很多以“蝶恋花”为词牌名的绝妙好词，记得小时候被逼背过不少，当时并不完全理解那些情绪，只是为了交差而机械背诵句子和解释。而现在说汉语的机会不多，回头再读，总觉得中文真是太美，寥寥数句，却内涵丰富、意蕴悠远。印象中背诵过的有《蝶恋花·庭院深深深几许》、《蝶恋花·昨夜秋风来万里》、《蝶恋花·画阁归来春又晚》等。这里附上我最喜欢的两首：

>伫倚危楼风细细，望极春愁，黯黯生天际。
草色烟光残照里，无言谁会凭阑意。
拟把疏狂图一醉，对酒当歌，强乐还无味。
衣带渐宽终不悔，为伊消得人憔悴。
蝶恋花 · 春景 | 苏轼
花褪残红青杏小。燕子飞时，绿水人家绕。
枝上柳绵吹又少，天涯何处无芳草！
墙里秋千墙外道。墙外行人，墙里佳人笑。
笑渐不闻声渐悄，多情却被无情恼。
你最喜欢的蝶恋花词又是哪一首呢？
