| Not my cat, Not my butterfly, alas |
I look out over the dooryard, which is an exercise in ragged untidiness.
The more or less trimmed off area runs downhill steeply away from the cabin maybe fifty or sixty feet. It’s full of rocks sticking up out of the ground because that’s how we roll here on top of my little mountain. It’s a mix of ground mint and mosses and herbs. Some grass. There are usually flowers in there if you look close enough. Today it's violets and horehound and some blue stuff. The daisies are opening.
We have butterflies, beautiful in colors and in the lightness of flight. Some of them don’t seem to care where they’re going. Some are making straight progress to one special tree or clump of borage. Who knows what motivates a butterfly?
Butterflies are an example of things best not examined too closely.
Here is a generic butterfly and cat. All my own pictures of butterflies have people in them.
