I think what the gist of this theory is that a small action can in turn create larger actions and bigger changes as it links to another and another action. Does this sound so far fetched? Not to me.
I know that if I am feeling down and I hang out with some stupid optimist, it is much more likely they will bring me up to their level than that I would drag them down. They are the butterflies in our lives and who knows what they change when we do not use the scientific data to follow up?
I also know that just watching a butterfly as it goes greedily from blossom to blossom with such little effort makes you feel better...much better. Just try it! Even on a hot day it somehow has a cooling effect.
And this last below is my favorite, because he/she is so small and easily overlooked.
I believe you just wrote an ode to butterflies.
ReplyDeletethat last one looks a bit like a leaf actually...like the flower sucked his color out...i believe in the effect, not necessarily literally but that small things can have a large effect...and i love butterflies...smiles.
ReplyDeleteI love butterflies. And the thought that the flutter of their wings could make something change on the other side of the world. Lovely flutters.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful. I have seen so few this year. A monarch, a tiny hairstreak. Where are the sulfurs, the painted ladies, the swallowtails?
ReplyDeleteSadly we have had few butterflies for the last years but this last week has been the best for a long, long time - a Gatekeeper, two Commas, Large White and at least two Speckled Woods.
ReplyDeleteI love your ohotos, especially the third one - a Fritillary?
I love watching the swallowtails floating and fluttering about the yard, and landing on flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love your gorgeous butterfly pictures. Those are such impressive creatures!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful butterflies Tabor.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I hear the word Butterfly Effect, I think about the short story by Ray Bradbury titled A Sound of Thunder. In fact, that's what I thought it came from, but I guess not. I do love all your beautiful butterflies.
