Butterfly Down! by allie912

Butterfly Down!

I didn't even bring my camera on this morning's walk, so naturally I stumbled (almost literally) upon this swallowtail butterfly laid out on the street. At first I was sure he was dead, but then he began walking around. Although I feel sure he was not long for this world, there didn't seem to be anything I could do to extend his life. I used the Hipstamatic app on my iPod Touch to record his beauty, then continued on my way.
Well at least you were able to share his last moments of beauty with all of us

i like the paradox of seeing him in this context - an original photo with an equally original frame ~

This one could be made into a beautiful stamp, so beautiful.

Pretty- sorry to hear it was on its last legs though.

Hey, I think he was just cold! He probably warmed up throughout the day and went off flying again! :)
