For my friend Cindi Smith. Happy Birthday tomorrow
gal. I'm sure most of the people who have had the
pleasure of meeting you would agree you are a free
spirit with a gift of leaving others with big smiles.

For the "Four Color February" and
"February Heart Songs" challenges.

NOTE: All of these butterflies were shot today from
my wife's collection under glass. These were purchased
from the Butterfly Sanctuary in Key West where a local
artist collects the bodies at the end of their life
cycle and creates art pieces with them. The only layer
not shot today is Cindi which came from her SPs.

Elton John "Someone Saved My Life Tonight"

When I think of those east end lights, muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima donna Lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore
We've all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rolling 'round the basement floor

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye

I never realized the passing hours of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the morning
Dammit listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive

And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your h.p. demands forever

They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home

Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone
