I was trailing a lovely Monarch flitting from milkweed to milkweed and feeling bad that she was not finding food. She was very busy inspecting each one and gave me a wonderful photoshoot.

About the time I was thinking “poor thing, wonder what’s up” I caught this moment and it dawned on me…

What a privilege – my first butterfly birth! And the single egg was so very delicate and vulnerable looking.

She looked at me – I have no idea what she was thinking, but I was was feeling a bit of awe.
