Beauty in Nature

Found on one of my walks

I chose nature photography as a way of capturing and sharing the beauty, power, and fragility of wild places and the life that inhabits them, so that those who have become mired in the man-made chaos may open their eyes to the real world.

    Monte, any clue as to what type butterfly this is. I couldn’t identify it. Maybe you know local species better. I even thought at first it might be a moth but moths usually don’t hold/fold their wings in this position. In any case, beautiful!

    One of my favorite little butterflies, and great quote from Guy. He certainly has a way of communicating what we all internalize, but rarely are able to put words to it.

      And, these beautiful butterflies are small. I was also lucky to this one stop long enough to get a decent image.
      I do enjoy reading Guy’s essays because he seems to haver the gift of finding the words that resonate with me.
