Who doesnt love butterflies?
They are dainty, fluttery, ethereal and just
overall pretty. It is difficult to remain sad in the company of butterflies. I
guess.
So for the last few days, while driving to work I
have observed just thousands of butterflies flying east.
Yup, they are flying in herds from west to east. I
had never read/heard about butterfly migration, let alone witness it. Its so
beautiful. And easy to miss if one doesnt know what to look at.
A little digging around and I found the name of
these pretty things - pieris brassicae.
Never too late to learn something new :)

Poets are almost always wrong about
facts. That's because they are not really interested in facts: only in truth:
which is why the truth they speak is so true that even those who hate poets by
simple and natural instinct are exalted and terrified by it.
