Metamorphosis



Today is my birthday, which made me think of these shots I took of a Monarch butterfly soon after it had emerged from its chrysalis. I feel that something like this happens to us all every few years. Whether it's a delightful transformation or a challenging one, it keeps life interesting.

Photos taken at the Harry P. Leu Gardens in Florida, December 2009.
