It is a momentous occasion to any young boy, when a monarch butterfly pays a very up-close visit on his nose during a butterfly release. While this insect warmed its wings oblivious to the impressions it was making, it reminded this photographer of the days when frogs, snakes and other critters were his own best friends. Perhaps we all need that reminder; that this world's creatures are as fragile as butterfly wings. We can all make a difference to our world if we could only remember. This butterfly, however small compared to a polar bear, will never know how important an event it was to land on a boy's nose.
