Butterfly at rest

Beauty in an unexpected place

The wonderpuppy and I took a bit of a different route on our morning walk today. As we left the house and approached the first corner, she pulled right instead of our usual left. And since I wasn't in the mood to leash-wrestle 14 pounds of feisty Mini Schnauzer, we went right.

Along the way, we came across a big old tree with a pair of impossibly colorful butterflies clinging to opposite sides of its massive trunk. They were just chilling in place, slowly opening and closing their wings. If I didn't know better, I'd swear they were waiting for us.

Somehow, Calli remained calm as she sniffed around the base of the tree, carefully avoiding our two new friends.

Somehow, I racked off a few pics before they continued on their epic journey.

Somehow, our bouncy pup knew that this was the way we were destined to go on this sunny Sunday morning.

Maybe dogs are a lot more perceptive than we think. Maybe I should just drop the maybe.
