Leafs

Two leafs that flapped in the wind were tethered by the tip of a tree branch, in one morning. 


I saw a Cycad Blue on another tip in another morning. 


I wanted to think as normal as you do, as though nothing had happened, as in the eyes of other hikers.

But it was Sunday, a day to switch off my mind again; it was so silent that I heard a story about leafs.

They were butterflies when leafs withered.

The two images match each other. Assemble images next to each other and you have an extraordinarily good diptych / brita

Leaves morphing into a butterfly.
You would think of this possibility.
I am so literal,
and your words push my imagination.

I like the way your mind works -- and the way a leaf becomes a butterfly.

Smart little butterfly to mimic a leaf for survival, maybe?

I was thinking those leaves looked like a butterfly!

They are both gorgeous! And yes Sunday is time for resting the mind!

Perhaps the two leafs were trying to mimic the Cycad Blue butterfly. Mimicry is the sincerest sign of flattery.

I believe you are right -- that butterfly looks just like a leaf. What a sweet story. It would make a good children's book!

Such a pretty butterfly -- my first time seeing one like this. :)

some leaves heal, while some kill. But your 'leaf' on the second pic is a sweet view!

Maybe butterflies are leaves that sprout legs.
