Wonder

This little girl was at our local Monarch grove and she was so gentle and in complete awe of the butterflies all around her. A child's wonder is something to behold. ...and something so of us many adults could learn from.

**Edit: Well, dangit. I just reloaded this image and am realising I grabbed the one where I hadn't fixed her hot knuckle yet. Oh well. The Three (@thethree) would love the highlight I'm sure!

Such a beautiful capture and your words are so true! Such a precious and as a scientist, the discovery and fascination of the youth is encouraging!

Lovely - so is a Monarch grove like a farm or is it part of the migration route?

@judithg They migrate here. Thousands and thousands stay in for several months every year. SO cool!
