Giant Swallowtail, December 2021 |
If She Can Fly, December 2021 |
It's rare to see a swallowtail in my backyard in December - but I caught her movement across the yard. It wasn't until I saw her through the lens that I noticed how tattered her wings are. She flew with the same speed and agility as any swallowtail I've seen float through the backyard. Who knows what she escaped or endured. The first words I whispered to myself, "If she can fly, so can I." And so can you...May it be so.
