It Became A Butterfly

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.

The butterfly is Nature's
Way of reminding us
That there is HOPE in grief
When the caterpillar is no more
The butterfly exists in ultimate
Freedom and beauty. ...Tanya Lord

This butterfly is a West Coast Lady called vanessa annabella

@fbailey I so appreciate that...my first butterfly at my son and family's new house. Not much vegetation yet but some ground cover in their front yard. Lots of bees (allergic) and butterflies. Thank you for the fav. :)
