Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (m)

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (m)
Wings of beauty are a bit worn ..
and ragged ..
yet he keeps searching for nectar ..
in the Mexican Sunflowers..
to me ..
this is more than a photo of a butterfly ..
it can be a life-lesson ..

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”
- Maya Angelou

A superb photo and point of view. And, as usual, a lovely poem.

This summer, there have been no butterflies, no midges, no wasps (not that I miss those two!), I've seen one bumble bee and one hummingbird. Heat, heavy smoke, drought...they take their toll. I put two shallow containers of water out - with a flat stone for bees to stand on - but I don't know if they've done any good.

Anyway, your photos are a delight!
