Broken Wing



There are so many things that are beautiful about this photo. One, most noticeably, being the bright blue beauty that radiates from this wings of this butterfly. I kept trying to catch this little guy, as he floated around my garden, however he was too interested in life to stop for even a moment, so I could document his greatness.

I did catch him for a brief second. Although, I didn't get the spread shot I was hoping to get, I was able to capture his broken wings. Through this butterfly's life, he has definitely taken a few hits, but as beautiful as ever, he goes on exploring!

  5. I'm a sucker for butterflies and this one is beautiful and sad at the same time. I always thought of butterflies as the last essence of a person's soul. I don't see the broken wing as the result of a sin, but as a part of themselves left behind with someone dear to them.

    Such a lovely picture, Claire.
