Yesterday was Mrs.Coturnix' birthday. Over the weeks I led her on various goose chases regarding what kind of present she was going to get. In the end she had no idea, could not even guess. So, this was quite a surprise - I commissioned the mirror from Tanja (you have met her before here, here and here). Tanja has made a number of similar mirrors with owls and horses and cats, but for Mrs.Coturnix, we decided on butterflies - not just any vague butterfly shapes, but actual species, some quite endangered. So, the mirror came with a Key to species with Latin names, geographical information and everything else. No need to say, but Mrs.Coturnix was floored and totally loved the mirror and made me immediately put it up on the prime wall real-estate:

Happy birthday Mrs Coturnix!!
It is hard to take candids of a mirror.
I love the T. brookiana and the paper kites on this. Some of my favorite butterflies. Lovely.
