Flutterby

As I was rushing to my car the other day I was taken aback by the beauty of this butterfly in my back yard. I just had to stop in my tracks to enjoy the moment.

I grabbed my iPhone and began to click photo after photo. I stepped a little closer, hoping not to scare off the butterfly. I crept closer and closer... and closer still. Not only didn't it fly away, but instead spread it's wings so I could get a wonderful shot.

In a way, I feel like this butterfly. I've been wrapped in a cocoon for the past few years; and am finally emerging.

Remember to stop and smell the roses... and the butterfly bush!
