metamorphosis...

"I could tell you of my experience, but that was this morning
and I was a different person then"
~lewis carroll~
~~
this is an archived photo of mine
not from this week
but from this month
~~
normally I don't keep blurry photos and I avoid taking them at all costs,
so this was really a challenge for me. sure I could have walked around outside, or even inside my house, taking a blurry photo here and there on purpose, but that didn't feel right to me for some reason. so I sat down and looked through my photos thinking to myself how I was wasting the morning away, because like I said, I don't save blurry photos, when I came across this one...one of hundreds that I took while we were "birthing" our monarchs and it kind of took my breath away.
not because of the photo itself...but because of the quote above, that has been sitting and gathering dust on my desk...waiting.
waiting to be paired with a photo where no explanation would be needed
~~
thank you for this wonderful challenge
