“Butterflies live most of their lives being completely ordinary. And then, one day, the unexpected happens. They burst from their cocoons in a blaze of colors and become utterly extraordinary. It is the shortest phase of their lives, but it holds the greatest importance. It shows us how empowering change can be.”

The butterfly photo was taken by Gregg on our last trip to Green Spring Gardens on Sunday, October 1st, 2023. More on the garden in a future post.

DeleteThis photo is incredible of the Monarch Butterfly. I don't get a chance to snap their photo that often, as they are here one minute and gone the next. Flutter about so quickly. Oh, this photo is so clear, and shows so much detail of the pretty butterfly.

So happy you like it Sheri. Gregg has a good eye for taking photos and a steady hand. It's hard when they flutter all over the place. I saw a bee on a flower the other day and it was sleeping. I took lots and lots of photos, and even then a lot of them were a bit blurry, oh well, lol! :)
