Butterflies have always captured my attention when I would see one fly
by me,
but more so in the last few weeks. I have had several people very close to
me
pass on and for some reason I was drawn to do this photography on this
particular
weekend which just pasted.
I was downloading and creating files for my pics when I noticed that the
date was
10-10-10 and I decided to investigate with the internet. 10-10-10 is called
the
Butterfly Effect! The meaning behind this is that "everything that I (we)
do effects
you (each other) and everyone else". I find this very fitting for the
times that we are facing
globally.
The beauty of each of these Monarch's that only have a lifespan of 6-8 weeks
and
the diligence that they placed into their work was amazing. The older, worn-out
butterflies worked much harder to pollinate the plants. I watched them
for
over a week taking these pics and learned the habits of each. They had a
sense
of urgency because they understand that "our time is very short
here"! Maybe we can
learn something from them. Do what we have to do here in this life and leave this planet
a much prettier place for the next generation.
