"Buckeye Butterfly"
"Happiness is a butterfly which, when pursued,
is always just beyond your grasp,
but which, if you will sit down quietly,
will alight upon you." - Nathaniel Hawthorne
These two common buckeye butterflies were
flitting playfully among the potentilla this afternoon.
Just like when I was little, I moved stealthily,
trying to capture these fascinating creatures;
only now, instead of a net, I use a camera.
