 This photograph was part of the Hospice’s Photography Competition for our 2024 calendar. Based on the theme of Belonging, this competition was the first of its kind for the Hospice and contributed significantly to our creative engagement with people and their communities and their sense of belonging in the world. People interpreted and approached this theme in many and different ways, resulting to a wonderful range of photographs including people’s sense of belonging in terms of community, nature, family, faith, hobbies or work.

Togetherness - Butterfly, Felicity Collins

When I came across these butterflies on the zingy pink zinnia alongside a chain-link fence, I was struck by a sense that they belonged each to the other, living such short and fragile lives in peace and harmony, and all warmed by the October sun. As I stood entranced by the unexpected gift of such loveliness, I felt myself included in the fragility and beauty of life
