December 19, 2009 Day 34 Monarch wants to make snow angels

Today while feeding the butterflies, one escaped. It flew to the natural light at the window and stayed for a while. I wondered how the snowy world looks to a butterfly. Watching it, I sensed both longing and playfulness, though it was probably my own. The contrast of a butterfly on a snowy day was new for me.

(Update: We had a total of 14 inches and blizzard conditions later that day!)
