As of this morning, at least some of the butterflies I've been waiting for have returned to our property.
Allow me to proudly and humbly display a Painted Lady (Vanessa Cardui).
I took these photos this morning.
Maybe, just maybe, you can now understand why I found their failure to appear disturbing.
They are beautiful creatures.
And extremely fragile.
The most beautiful things in life usually are fragile, are they not?
We need to appreciate them more. We need to address global warming and all the other things we are doing to poison this planet.
The planet will go nowhere. We will.
