I was trying to think of what I could get you all for Christmas
If I could get you anything, anything at all
And after a little reflection, it finally came to me
What better gift for bloggers than butterflies ?
Oodles of butterflies . . . bundles of butterflies
Baskets full and boxes and bags and wheelbarrows
All full of butterflies
Butterflies to let loose in your life
Bouncing on the breeze
Frolicking from one flower to the next
Fluttering freely in flight
Alighting where they will
Gracing purple blooms in your afternoons
For are we not all a bit like butterflies
Flapping from one blog to another
Resting a fleeting moment, then fleeing
Pollinating, cross pollinating
And off again to the fertile fields of daydreams . . .

Trust Owen to stay off the beaten track. No evergreens, pine cones, santas or Christmas lights for his greeting card: Butterflies-- and beautiful ones at that. Excellente idée, Monsieur le Crapeau. ;-) Swing by if you get a chance. My "Holiday post" is a tad different too. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
You've made me smile on a cold, bleak December morning... thank you for that, Owen. A rare gift indeed.
Un sublime cadeau de Noel cette guirlande de papillons aux couleurs chatoyantes...merci Mon cher Owen ,ça allège l’âme du poids de l'hiver...on retrouve la légèreté insouciante des belles journées d’été..
Je te souhaite un beau Noel avec ta jolie famille et les gens que tu aimes autour de toi..
Et je t'envoie mille douces pensées papillonnantes et colorées...:)
what a beautiful gift for us to
take flight on.
the best to you and yours Owen.

How perfectly beautiful! This post is a true gift to us, Owen, and I am going to print your poem to pin on my Christmas card holder. It is an ideal description of bloggers and blogging. {¨}
It's 3.54 a.m....but when the sun comes up the plants round the house will be alive with butterflies....thank you, Owen for making me look at them more closely instead of taking them for granted!
an original and perfect gift...
delicate color on gray December days....
Thank you..
ah!!!
magnifique, vraiment... the most stunning gift... thank you so much, dear Owen... colours and grace, this is all we need, isn't it?
I bow to the master! Everything about this post is perfectly divine. The timing, the exquisite images, the sentiment, and the writing. You are truly gifted and a gift. I treasure our virtual friendship.
Sending warm thoughts your way as always but it's the time of year to express it. And I think, things are looking up in general on our planet. I feel the gentleness of butterflies being released into the air...
A Very Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Thanks Owen! Thanks for all of your wonderful posts. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Heart goes out to Christchurch New Zealand again battered by earthquakes yesterday...
When will it stop ?
And heart is already in this gift of butterflies to all of you good people... yes, boatloads of butterflies for your pure pleasure, happiness, serenity, tranquility; wishing you a wonderful holiday season, and all the best in 2012, in life, in blogging, and all that is still good in this world...
Thanks for these lovely photos. I do like the butterfly comparison. We bloggers do flit around visiting flowers all over the world. Sending Christmas wishes your way.
Beautiful sentiments Owen and o how true about being butterflys, fluttering by.
Joyeux Noel to you and yours this magical season.
Merry Christmas Owen!
so, so true!! Have a very happy Christmas and wishes for a new year full of joy.
Thanks... and Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Merry Christmas, Owen, to you and your family. I will close my eyes and picture the butterflies, and delight in the gift.
Thank you!
Quelle débauche de papillons et de fleurs, c'est magnifique, je n'en ai jamais vu autant à la fois. Tu nous sors des sentiers battus avec ces décorations de Noel d'un genre inédit !
J'espère que vous avez passé un joli Noel en famille et vous souhaite une très belle année 2012 !
PS - Désolée de ne pas avoir vu ton expo, j'ai passé les quelques jours de Noel dans la maison de campagne de ma maman près de Meulan et nous n'avons pas mis les pieds à Paris. Je n'ai vu ni tes photos ni les décorations des champs Elysées. Ce sera pour une autre fois j'espère !
What a lovely, lovely Christmas/Solstice present!! just gorgeous . . . thank you!
Belle année à toi Owen!!!! Et encore mille photos sur ton blog!!!
Wow, great pix!
