A wonderful write, Julie! I loved this one, but then, I almost always love your writes. Lovely words and thoughts seem to flow effortlessly from your pen and create such beautiful images. This one is meaningful to me because we just visited a Butterfly Conservatory, and I was awe-struck by the beauty of those creatures. Bravo!
