When I see drab flying insects, I think “Moth.” I expect butterflies to be more colourful, somehow. But the white one is a cabbage white, apparently, and the brown one might be a northern cloudywing. Both butterflies. Not moths.

Poetry of the Week
Mysteries, Four of the Simple Ones
And when the blue heron, breaking his long breast feathers,
sees one feather fall, does he know I will find it?
Will he see me holding it in my hand?as he opens his wings
softly and without a sound—
as he rises and floats over the water?Read the whole poem by Mary Oliver, here.
