This is kind of fun. I enjoyed visiting the other bloggers who entered posts in Creative Photography last week to see what sort of pictures they came up with.
There was quite a variety, and I loved most of them.
I believe that I included this picture in a blog post that I wrote a while back, about butterflies. I have cropped it a bit. The picture is of sleeping butterflies, and was taken a few years ago during the monarch butterfly migration in Cape May, NJ. I had no idea at the time that butterflies sleep, clinging to trees and bushes. They look like leaves on the mimosa tree.
If you look closely, you can make out the orange of the butterflies' wings. When I took the picture, the sun was going down and light was fading fast - hence the need for the butterflies to find a place to sleep for the night.If you would like to enter, follow the link to Creative Photography , read the rules and sign up before next Thursday afternoon.

Simple dark shapes on a lightish background can be so much more than just dark shapes! Very interesting!

Took me awhile to figure out what the image was before I read the text you provided! lol Great capture. :)
The butterflies at peace are quite delicate, as if they sprung from a bud on the branch. Great shot!
