Mental Wanderings

The beautiful butterfly

Yesterday it was around 80° Fahrenheit outside, nice sunny afternoon after I had left work when I was standing in my driveway, enthralled by a Monarch butterfly hovering near me. With its bright orange wings with a deep black liner with circles of white were pretty amazing to see the drunken-like dance they do while staying airborne. It stopped for the briefest of seconds on a weedlike plant which had a flower on the end, but it must not have been what it needed because soon enough it was back up in the air, swaying its crazy dance to a new location. The smile on my face did not leave for a good minute as my gaze tracked the delicate looking animal as it continued its search for food.
