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.

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

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

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