Butterfly Blizzard July 31, 2013

June 14, 2013

When I was walking along the road, I came across a group of butterflies puddling in the road.  “Puddling” is basically what it sounds like–dabbling around in puddles and damp earth–and it’s the butterfly equivalent of taking a vitamin.

At rest…

As I got nearer, the butterflies boiled up and away like yellow confetti, flying along the road in both directions until the entire stretch of road was aflutter.

…going…

…gone.
