the Way of the Turtle

ABOUT THE PHOTO: Summer includes more than it's share of unpleasant biting insects, but there are also plenty that I look forward to seeing - honey bees, hawkmoths, bumblebees, fireflies, and butterflies like this monarch feeding on the flowers at Five Rivers on a July evening.
