These are two pictures of beautiful butterflies that I took today while hiking.
The first is a black and white butterfly with some gold accents--it's wings were enormous and it is spread over multiple leaves--it sort of reminds me of Batman.
The second was gold and black with a double wing and a mosaic like pattern--almost like Tiffany glass.
It was amazing see these beautiful creatures up close and actually I was surprised that they stayed still long enough for me to get near enough to snap these photos.
On a hot, lazy day on the Shenandoah River, maybe they gave me this one.
Thank you G-d for the magnificent beauty of the creatures and the Earth that you provide to us.
