Photos du Jour: Monarch Butterfly, Port Chalmers

26/7/2016

The Lovely R snapped this newly-minted piece of Lepidoptera on the ivy wall outside our front door.
Large butterflies like these Monarchs seem to defy physics with the swift, deliberate nature of their flight; I have no idea how something that weighs nothing can have so much power to command the winds.

It's R's birthday today. Love you, boo.

What is freedom, when it is
all that remains to you?
In exile two brothers pursue an anarchist's trajectory, from an old world into the new, from East to West, subject always to the pleasures & horrors of an enduring flesh, to the ironies of karma & impunity. Love bears thorns, the lost return & the dead are haunted by the living.
