Even though I still have some good waterfall photos to look at and play with I wanted to look at something new. I have scanned through this batch I got recently at the butterfly place. It’s really quite nice, but oh so hot. Apparently butterflies really like hot weather. I most certainly am not comfortable in it, so I didn’t spend as much time there as I should have. Although, I did get some pretty nice shots while I was there. I need to work on my outdoor conditioning and really my general conditioning too. When I was a kid I remember loving the summer heat and thinking I wanted to be outside all the time my whole life. That was a long time ago though. It was also in a place that had far less humidity. I wonder if I spent my youth here in middle Georgia with the semi-tropical climate I would have been so happy to be outdoors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I realized when well after the fact that this little buddy has a broken wing, or torn, or whatever the correct terminology would be for such a disfigurement. I can tell you it didn’t seem to hinder it’s progress jumping from one flower to another in the search of pollen. As I mentioned I didn’t even realize it had this handicap. I expect butterflies are really quite resilient. I’d imagine they encounter quite a lot of obstacles in their lives and they manage to carry on. I wonder if it even realizes it has this disadvantage? Whatever the case, it is a beautiful animal in a beautiful environment, and I like beautiful things. I hope you like it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
