I really like bugs. I mean I like them and find them interestingly magical, mystical, and seldom appreciated. Nature is a pleasing diversion to me as a very busy parent. Stopping in the midst of my day to browse a book about butterflies is something extraordinary for me. Browsing spectacular books is a great way to relax, appreciate the small and other significant living things around us and realize how much more closer to the natural world we should be amidst all the technology within our lives.
Butterflies are fantastic! You can behold in their visual appearance a supernatural and magical beauty that may not be so evidently apparent in other specimens of the insect world. This book One Hundred Butterflies by Harold Feinstein is a most lovely "coffee table " book. But, I think it better than coffee table and upgrade it to everyday reference and enjoyment. Leave a page open everyday and each picture will invoke many things within the minds of those whose eyes befall it as they pass it by. I mean really, those creatures are that inviting! (As many of you already know!)
And this picture of the Blue Morpho just fills me with memories from the many books I've read on my own and with my children that invoke images of fairies and fairy folk
