Butterflies at Inspiration Avenue

The Butterfly Garland
Butterflies under the sea?
But of course! Where did you think butterflies come from?
Besides from caterpillars, that is. 
It's like the old chicken and the egg puzzle. 
Which came first, the caterpillar or the butterfly?

Well, mermaids are in charge of gathering the lost butterflies
and making sure they return to land to lay the eggs,
that will become the caterpillars, 
that will become . . . now you understand.
Without the mermaids' help, there would be many less butterflies.
Of course the mermaids can't accomplish this without a little assistance.
They enlist their sea creature friends to pitch in from time to time :)

Be sure to head over to Inspiration Avenue on Sunday
to see the Gallery of Butterflies.
I believe we have a record number of entries this week.
"Butterflies" is a subject that speaks to the creative soul!
