Gulf Fritillary Butterfly
Friday, August 21st, 2020Attempted to take a photo of a Gulf fritillary butterfly that visited my courtyard garden.
All of the photos were blurry. Wouldn’t pause long enough to see its wing detail.

Its antenna stroked my finger. Much cooler than a photo!
It is important to live in the moment, to contemplate something beautiful.
