| came out of the house and was greeted by this lovely sight |
 |
| I so enjoyed |
 |
| watching it flit |
 |
| and fly from bloom to bloom |
 |
| posing nicely for me I felt light as a butterfly w/ the joy of watching and snapping |
 |
| chasing it around was a challenge till it stayed |
 |
| in this one spot so I tried |
 |
| different angles |
 |
| not knowing what I was seeing |
 |
| it was moving oddly and I snapped away |
 |
| I thought what is this!....... oh, they are interacting ---how neat |
 |
| then I realized the interaction was the .... |
 |
| ...cycle of life |
 |
| it was dying |
 |
| the beauty i was enjoying turned..... raw |
 |
| and it flipped |
 |
| and twisted |
 |
| I Felt sad and a little sick to my stomach |
 |
| then it was dead I know its nature-- so I know-- this is what happens |
 |
| after it was dead i placed it on my Mum |
 |
| and couldn't decide if that was a tribute or a little icky |

Life is sad sometimes isn't it? Your photos are exquisite and what a beautiful, colorful one he/she was. And how great that you were able to watch him so closely and get the pictures that you did! I think it's a lovely tribute and definitely not icky -- even a little! Have a lovely week.

great captures too. i am often tardy - er my camera is often tardy in capturing their beauty.
that is sad, but amazing you were there with camera in hand to capture it. A real National Geographic moment.
Lovely photos and so clear.
Unlike Man's way of life, which sometimes takes a life without just cause and creates sorrow, Natures way of life creates balance. YES, indeed this is a tribute to the butterflies sacrifice of life for another of God's creatures to live, for someday there will be yet another of God's creatures that will need the praying mantis sacrifice of life in return. You truly captured an inspiring moment and what a magnificent tribute to the beauty of GOD's BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY!
Definitely a tribute. My favourite is the fifth image in the series - and because they flit, I know just how hard it is to capture a decent image.
