Finding Light On The Parkway, Sunday, April 19, 2020

Hi, Folks,
Here we are, probably feeling confined, but still with choices to make. I intend to give some thought to what it is, when we are free of these limitations, that I’ll stop doing, start doing, or do differently because of what we’re now experiencing. A quote from Necole Stephens* helps to inspire that line of thinking:
When you find yourself cocooned in isolation and you cannot find your way out of darkness…
Remember, this is similar to the place where caterpillars go to grow their wings.
If I continue to be fortunate, and make the effort, I may well have a chance to come out of this better in some ways than when our isolation began. There is hope.
Dave

Thanks for your comment, Annie. Glad you liked the photograph. At:( http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/bfly/pipevine_swallowtail.htm ) you will see a photograph of the ventral (underside) of a pipevine swallowtail that has a lighter gray coloration than the deep black of the dorsal side.
i thought the pipevine swallowtail has black upper wings ; seems very grey. Perhaps it is the way the light is falling on the wings. The surroundings are muted, though the Vetch flower is holding court that morning along the river. Thank you for the soft beauty. Found it just before church.
