Butterflies

 

Fall has come,

The Fog enters from the sea.

The garden visitors are here each day,

To lend a beauty and a charm to our lives.

Do you see the insect? What kind is it?

----Henri Matisse

 

Can you see the spider? Can you see the very large brown ball he is sitting on?

Oh spider so protected by color.

What is in the brown ball you so

Carefully protect?

Egg sack?

or

Some helpless victim which

Will become a meal?
