I talk with her and my Dad most everyday. Depends what I need guidance on. In the summer I'm always outside. Dad comes as a blue butterfly. My Angel comes as a yellow butterfly. As for the kids, wish I had this many more.

No doubt you do... did you know it is said or thought a yellow butterfly symbolizes, represent a new life in many cultures. They also represent long life, good health, good fortune, and honest prosperity. Gold is yellow and golden or yellow butterflies represent wealth and well-being. A yellow or golden butterfly also symbolizes a “new life”, a t***sformation or a rebirth... Perhaps she letting you know her rebirth has come...

Likewise blue butterfly is often thought to have special meaning and symbolism for those lucky enough to see one. Although seeing a blue butterfly is not a common experience... Butterflies are also popularly thought to symbolize a person's essence, or soul, either past, present or future. The color blue in a butterfly is often thought to symbolize joy, color or a change in luck. Sometimes a blue butterfly is viewed as a wish granter... A Dad would be that wish granter~~~ as I see it anyway. ✨🙏✨

Thank you for that information. So many people go through life and never try to understand or see the beauty in nature. Nature if we are willing to observe and learn from can open an insight into God's creation.

I love hiking for this very reason... Outdoors anything really..

See??? There is a light at the end of the tunnel... This drive itself brings you front and center to serenity itself...

Beautiful picture lindajoy (and the trees are nice too! 😉)

I hope to one day see these giants. Are they Sequoias?

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Thank You... it truly is majestic..
No, not Sequoias, altho I saw plenty of them in Cali, like at the Sequoia National forestry and Park...Huge an understatement with sugar pine cones a foot in length...😳 But your not allowed to remove them either..Learned that when I came out with five of them to be met by the park ranger who said they ask to be left for the natural habitat... He said you have them now but in the future it could result in a fine.. I told him I’d put them back but he allowed me to keep them...Was just letting me know for future reference...

Colorado has bristlecone pine, Colorado blue spruce,( the state tree) Douglas-fir, Engelmann spruce, limber pine, lodgepole pine, narrowleaf cottonwood... Ironic you can’t cut the Blue Spruce unless you get a permit for one to use at Christmas... Sturdiest branches there are in holding ornaments and their scent intoxicating! All over Colorado too..

I have 2 mature beautiful blue spruce along with a variety of nondescript pines on the land that God gave me to watch over almost 40 years ago.

I've planted and watched things come and go and it seems that the blue spruce, as well as being physically strong as you said, imposes it's DNA on the other pines. I've noticed over the years that some of the nondescript pines are turning the same unique shade of blue!
