Blue butterflies cover my kitchen table.
They fly across a field of lighter blue. Each insect is trimmed in black and brightened by spots of golden green. The cloth upon which they flit I purchased to make a square sewn into a good friend’s quilt. The remainder now graces my table, with the butterflies there to greet me as I sit down to write … or as is more often the case … to simply sip a cup of tea and stare out into the day.

If I had had my camera in hand today as I walked home along the Charles River, would I have seen the Great Blue Heron? Would it have walked toward me, coming so close that I could see the wind ruffling its feathers, so close that I could see the gradations in color that give the bird its name? I don’t think so. I think I would have been too concerned by the thing in my hand to notice the bird fishing at the water’s edge.
And of all that I saw of that great bird, what do I remember most?
When it raised its head and sighted its golden eye upon me.
