This book that not only has some beautiful photos of butterflies, but also has a quote for each one by famous authors throughout history, such as, Emily Dickenson, Hans Christian Anderson, Robert Frost, Charles Dickens and Rudyard Kipling just to name a few.
What I love about this book is that the photos are actual photos of many different type of butterflies in their natural settings. The photos are so vibrant and colorful and shows just how wonderfully beautiful nature truly is.
This book can be found at Amazon, and also at Night Fire Publications. Please also visit their facebook pages Night Fire Publications and Cool Butterflies.

This is a full color book of photographs, I have previewed it in black and white and it looks good on those Kindles also. It will display best on the Kindle Fire or on the color Kindle apps available for your computers and your devices (iPad etc)
Rock cairns populate the area known as Buddha Beach at the Cathedral Rock Vortex along Oak Creek in Sedona. There are literally hundreds of tiny hand crafted rock piles, made from rocks and stones along the shore.
Buddha Beach actually is part of Oak Creek where the creek widens and in warm weather people go wading and even swimming. People actually also cross the creek to get to the trails on the other side.
As I (Deborah Carney) was photographing the tiny (and not so tiny) rock structures I knew they had to be paired with quotes and sayings from Buddha. I hope you will enjoy this journey through Buddha Beach paired with some insightful quotations.
The photographs in this book are taken by myself, my daughter Liz, and her son Alec. I was going to identify who took what, but I don’t want to detract from the beauty of the images and the sayings they are paired with. I will say that I am proud to say that each of us contributed and individual attribution isn’t necessary. All the sayings in the book are attributed to Buddha.
Buddha quotes need to be read slowly for the meaning to come to you. Many are open to interpretation, which means you will read the meaning you need to see and hear. Each photo has its own message; you might have to look hard to find it.
I’m very happy that we went in the winter because we were able to see and experience things that would be hidden by leaves in the spring and summer. It was also nice to have a few people around, but not the large numbers that are in the area during the warmer seasons.
We are where we are supposed to be, when we are supposed to be there.

I had no idea of the number of different types of butterflies until I read Flowers with Wings — A Collection of Butterfly Photos from NightFire Publications. Sure, I realized there were several. But some of the varieties are unbelievably intricate and unusual. For instance, the Indian Leaf Butterfly, when it’s wings are closed, looks like… well, a leaf. But when it opens its wings, you see this gorgeous, iridescent blue and gold and purple winged creature that is absolutely stunning. The change is incredible!
If you like butterflies or just colorful photos, you’ll thoroughly enjoy this ebook. It would actually do well as a coffee table book with all its bright colored photographs and short verses and quotes relating to butterflies. I’ve browsed through many coffee table books that couldn’t compare for quality and interest.

I love photography books, because the images inspire my photography, I love the photography tips, and some of the best books (in my opinion) have a story behind the images.
The Flowers With Wings digital photography ebook by Deborah Carney and Vinny O’Hare is a peaceful book that I found myself flipping through slowly. It’s perfect for someone who loves butterflies and at $4.99, it’s an affordable gift and stocking stuffer. What I love about the book is that it inspired an addition to my Photography Bucket List. I caught a portion of a documentary about the Monarch Butterflies and thought it would be amazing to capture a portion of their migration in South America. Until I get my act together and get my passport, I think I’ll visit a local butterfly exhibit and see what I can capture.

Flowers with Wings

Format: Ebook [Kindle Edition]
I had the opportunity to review Flowers with Wings from Nightfire Publications which is a really neat compilation of butterfly pictures with Psalms, poems and quotes. The REALLY NEAT thing is that each picture has the actual name of the butterfly listed! My ds15 LOVES butterflies so we can even use this as a homeschooling tool. BONUS!
These photos are absolutely breathtaking! And the verbiage underneath is inspiring. I really enjoyed this ebook!

What a beautiful photo book. In Flowers With Wings (Kindle Edition) you will find 26 beautiful photos of butterflies, each with it’s own inspirational quote about butterflies. I personally love butterflies and am a huge fan of quotes, so I was blown away with this opportunity to review a book about two of my favorite things. The most calming and peaceful things in the world, butterflies are very majestic, is it any wonder fairies have butterfly wings?
Butterflies truly are beautiful creatures and that beauty is captured time and time again throughout the 28 pages of this eBook.
My favorite quote from the book is:
Happiness is a butterfly,
which when pursued,
is always just beyond your grasp,
but which, if you will sit down quietly,
may alight upon you.
~ Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1804-1864 ~

Most people who read this blog, don’t know the significance of the butterfly to me personally. I always have loved butterflies, they are free, they fly, and they change. They are truly to me what represent the cycle of life. I had a best friend once, who loved butterflies, and now when I think of her I see yellow butterflies. I know my favorite color is yellow, and before her passing her favorite thing was butterflies … I know when I see a yellow butterfly, it’s her letting me know she’s still with me.
When I was asked to review Flowers with Wings, I got excited. Not only do I love photography, but I love and adore butterflies. I started out by uploading it to my computer and you can purchase it too and upload it to yours! I then sat back and started looking at the photos. I truly enjoyed that the book had quotes along with the photos.

In Flowers With Wings you will find beautiful photos of butterflies, each with it’s own inspirational quote. I personally love butterflies and am a little jealous of the talented Deborah Carney and her amazing captures of these creatures. The most calming and peaceful things in the world, butterflies are small yet very majestic.
I like the little nugget of information about the butterfly with the combination of inspirational quotes. If your looking for a great EZ read to hand out this Holiday season this is the E-Book to buy.
