At first glance horses and butterflies seem to have nothing in common -- horses, a symbol of strength and power and butterflies, the very picture of fragility -- but things are not always as they seem.... Horses: sleek, swift and powerful, symbols of freedom and frontier and yet inexplicably, deep in the human psyche we connect on a different level with our four legged friends -- they seem fragile and vulnerable and therefore requiring of our love and attention. Butterflies: paper-thin kaleidoscopes of color on the wing, easily pushed about by a puff of wind -- yet surprisingly strong despite our assessment of frailty -- monarchs, almost inconceivably, migrate thousands of miles for the winter and then back again in the spring. So there you have it: one a very symbol of strength, yet somehow imagined desiring, even needing human contact to survive, and the other, while appearing oh so fragile and delicate - has the strength and stamina to fly 50 miles a day and a total of over 4-5,000 miles (both ways) annually. |

Thanks for looking! I post these images for two reasons: (1) for those who are interested in seeing my latest work and (2) because they are a great way for me to guage reaction. Due to the significant investment in printing images, I often hold off going into the darkroom until I get your reactions.
