The butterfly didn’t believe he was carved in stone,
as he flew away to follow his dreams.

These words of wisdom is what is shining through in your blog every day.
Thanks Corey. -
how romantic the sculptures were in those times…such a feminine touch.
-
Great words today, Corey. It’s all in how we perceive…
-
Amen like my son did flew away to embrace his bliss

Love Jeanne -
Beautiful

So delicate and beautiful even cast in stone…*sigh*

Corey you are amazing! You notice the details that most others miss! I did not remember seeing this at Sacre Coeur….
-
How many other butterflies are carved into stone, I wonder? This is the first one I’ve seen.
-
This is the first time I’ve seen a butterfly carved in stone too.
What a rare gem. -
Lovely! And if there’s one thing I’ve learned in life it’s that few things are carved in stone. We have to challenge, question, change things.
-
Corey, this is perfect. More of us should fly inspite of our stone wings. I love this!!
-
Off to visit Shelley I imagine. My email came back undeliverable. I’m glad she got lots of emails.
-
How beautiful and graceful.
-
beautiful thought!
-
What an unexpected sight!
-
I love seeing stuff like this on buildings. There is a great owl here on a building in NYC. I will take a picture if I remember.
-
Fantastic!
-
I’ve been there tons of times but have never noticed the butterfly. I will have to start paying more attention.
-
I know a butterfly, whose off looking in all kinds of boxes in foreign ports of call…
-
Corey ~ Thanks
-
I love old buildings! They just are not made like this anymore! The detail is beatiful!
It almost looks 3-D!
Beautiful! -
So much of the life we life is based on state of mind, isn’t it? I don’t think I’ve ever seen butterflies on a capital (or any architecture for that matter); this is a little treasure all its own. Where did you find it?
-
Ok, if I’d seen the last line I wouldn’t have asked about where you found it. It’s wonderful 🙂

Sometimes I feel as those my own wings are made of stone… then I remember to pray.
-
Can one even begin to imagine how someone crates something soo delicate. Just beautiful Clarice
-
Ah! Sacre Couer my favourite building in the whole world. That white against a blue sky cannot be beaten.
Thanks for finding that butterfly Corey. -
Bossy often tries to fly with leaden wings.
-
How did you see them?! I need to open my eyes more.
-
Absolutely beautiful thought and photo!
-
What a striking photo of the carvings. Stationary butterflies reminding us to keep moving, eh?
-
Thank you for this beautiful image today – and for giving the butterfly flight with your words.
-
Just as we cannot allow our self imposed limitations hold us back. We must keep our eyes on the prize, and keep those obstacles where they really are, figments of our imagination. Stone butterflies have alot to teach!
Go see my post, I posted the yellow and blue sheets for you!
Have a great day. -
Simply exquisite!
-
How wonderful! Simply splendid! 😎
-
So beautiful! The words fit perfectly.
