Estranged from Beauty – none can be –
For Beauty is Infinity –
And the power to be finite ceased
Before Identity was creased –
~ Emily Dickinson

Ever there, always, the beauty does not cease even when we do not witness it, and beauty continues even after our identity is gone.
Of course now I have to keep an eye out of butterfly eggs!
So very true, Jeff! If you do find a butterfly egg I cannot wait to see how you capture it on film. 🙂
My grandmother spent many happy hours photographing insects and their eggs. She found them when she went out in the woods with my grandfather, who was a land surveyor.
Wow I did know your Grandmother had accomplished that creative aspect.
Once I researched the butterfly egg activity I realized I have most likely had seen them on the Milkweed plant leaves only to consider them “growths”. Now I will have to examine those leaves more closely! I love challenge!
I have a feeling I’ve seen lots of little things on leaves and never realized what they might be. That’s the thing about nature — it’s full of surprises when we change our perspective a little here and there. 🙂 Happy egg hunting, Jeff!
The picture is wonderful. I never before thought about (or appreciated) the beauty of butterfly eggs.
Thank you, Sheryl. I never know what amazing pictures I will find when browsing through the National Digital Library. 🙂
Love the image, Barbara! Beauty is to be found everywhere in nature – life big and small.
Thank you, Tiny! It is amazing, the universe, how vast and yet how microscopic its wonders…
