blessed glimpses

yesterday I was blessed to catch a glimpse, microsecond glimpses, of some wonders

usually I see flocks of parrots flying... streaking is the word actually, across the sky in air plane formation.  
I know them to be parrots coz of the pattern they hold as they streak and their distinctive tail shape. I almost always have to look at the sky to see them. they look like zipping shadows against the sun

but yesterday morning, I happened to look out of my window
and I saw this beautiful flock streak past me, skimming the trees, below my window! and that means i saw them all green and gorgeous. literally less than a second but a sight to last me forever. 

I have never looked down upon a streaking flock of green parrots. they are beautiful. their green... no word bit parrot green. 

later that morning at a traffic light I looked out the window and happened to catch sight of a butterfly, the size of a toddler's thumbnail, translucent white, just landinh on a tiny dandelion head in the grass. of course once it landed I could not see it anymore. tiny. translucent white. fluttering. it's made to camaflouge with  dandelion heads. but this dandelion was shaking and shaking in no wind so i knew it was still there and a second later it took off. 

blessed sights indeed!
