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.

Blue butterfly seen on my walk yesterday 04-25-11 along the Huckleberry Trail
- Possibly an Eastern Tailed Blue Butterfly -
Lovely. I like the wing shape is echoed in the leaf.

ReplyDeleteI think we call it short-tailed blue, but I'm not sure that is the one... This is a beautiful shot Kerri!

ReplyDeleteCan't believe you can see his fuzz!
ReplyDeleteI'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.
