86 - Environmental Portraits

I don't know what kind of butterfly this is, but it is the first green one I've ever seen. I thought it was just exquisite, with almost translucent wings (which don't really show up on the photo). A beautiful creature! (View full size to get a better look.)

"Have you ever seen a sunset in a perfect sky?
Or noticed the masterpiece we call a butterfly?
We are a witness to these miracles each day.
May it always be this way!"

--We Share the Earth by Mary Ann Kennedy, on her album The Road Less Travelled
