Swallowtail Spa

On my way home from the Shakespeare Garden this week, I saw this butterfly that kept fluttering over a muddy tire track. Then it would settle and rest as if this patch of mud was the most desirable place in the world. Maybe it was the moisture that attracted the beautiful visitor. I watched for a while and then decided the contrast of this elegant creature and its gritty choice of landing spots was worth capturing and sharing. Make your own allegory.
