I still catch my breath every time I see a newly emerged monarch butterfly.
A moment of wonder, full of intricate, lacy beauty.
Vivid orange and black, against blue sky, cream and green leaves.
A blessing.
That moment today, too quick to catch on my i-Phone.
A morning garden stroll.
A flutter in the corner of my eye…caught breath in wonder.
A majestic creature drinking nectar from the cream grevillea!
Then quickly gone in what seemed one graceful glide through the air.
Onto her next adventure.
The moment needs recording.
I’ll never do it justice.
But perhaps my drawing will be enough representation,
of that brief encounter,
TO REMEMBER…🌸
