Today I Captured a Butterfly/ For Butterfly Drawings
This was taken at Maymont Park this morning. I took a few photos. In digital camera terms that’s about one hundred or so pics. I am not sure if I like it or not but here it is. And maybe I will post a flower or two and bring the total to three which is a lucky number.
Summer Fun

How you thrive upon this place!
It certainly gives you lots of space
To loose you wings and learn to fly
As if you were a butterfly.
It is a shame that you must dwell
When summer’s over nearer hell
Where all are gathered with their books
To share each other’s sullen looks.
But let us not about this feel
Foreboding so this day would steal
Away our joy as we would hook
A feisty crab for dinner’s cook.
Let us not remember when
We only held a dull red pen
Or times we sat upon a rock
While players gathered round to mock.
Let us stay here for awhile
Until the night does play
Upon the cinders of the day
And sleep under the moon.
Til morning when you once again
Play as if the day won’t end.

Home Is Where The Broadband Is
We arrived home late last night after another comfortable flight on my new favorite airline Jet Blue. While we were flying through the night at 30,000 feet I stretched out and watched an unbelievable documentary about chimpanzees going ballistic and attacking a car full of happy tourists. More about them later.
This morning I am happy to report that I just downloaded four pictures from our trip in about fifteen seconds. I was waiting fifteen minutes to download one picture using a dial up yesterday. This calls for a celebration and marathon posting throughout the day!
First up are some of the aforementioned pictures. We have more butterflies! Yesterday we went for a little discovery tour in Boston and ended up in a butterfly exhibit at the Science Museum. I had not been to this museum for fifty years so it was nice to see things had changed a bit. Not that I remember anything about how it was back then except that I had a little camera with a slot where you stuck the flashbulb. We have changed! And thankfully I am not stuck with a lunch bag full of unrequited love for my little third grade heart throb , L. No, I am happy to report my lovely Beth who is woman incarnate and full of love was there. And she had a great time.
