Butterfly of Blue ~ Leaves of Green

Expectant of greater things,
We try climbing -
Higher
And Higher;
An effort that costs us much,
Leaving us short of breath
To find only
The ground below is much prettier.
~Phillip Pulfrey

Blue butterfly seen on my walk yesterday 04-25-11 along the Huckleberry Trail

  20. I'm pretty sure you got the ID right. I saw my first on last Sunday. It wouldn't sit still. But then, the weather was so nice, I couldn't sit still either.
