Still Hanging On

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 4 November 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Evidently, Shenandoah had not yet experienced a hard frost by the time I visited, as evidenced by this beautiful, yellow butterfly I found resting on a clover on a mountaintop.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

Really pretty! I think this is just so delicate. Those are tiny little butterflies.
