A Butterfly Pitstop


 The first day of winter and the days will start to lengthen toward spring, a bit each day. But it's already dark, DAMMIT! I got up to go swim this morning and ended up staying home because it was so dark and gloomy, it just didn't feel right to me. It rained around mid-day, too, which only put a bit of gloss on the stark grays of the sidewalks and my mood.

This picture was taken last August when I went to Newfields for a long walk and to look at some real art, not just my own. I stopped at the Beer Garden where I was enjoying a small plate of charcuterie with a glass of local brew when I saw this guy. Along with abundant bees and a few hummingbirds, he flew in to enjoy a snack among the flowers planted in the museum's pub garden.
