    It almost look as if the larger butterfly was teaching the smaller one how to fly!; ) The larger one is an Egg Fly Butterfly.. I'm not sure what the smaller one is yet, but will find out. I couldn't believe my eyes when they both landed there together! ; )

      Oh I am not sure if I agree with the quote. The true teacher also grows as he/she teaches, learning from the learner.

      Beautiful butterflies :)
      such vivid coloring!

    17. Purpletree..(Nancy Lee) (34 months ago | reply)

      Thanks so much for your kind comments Mert, Dorchester, Roberta, Nancy,cherithsky,and Osprey.. Yes Nancy I agree with you also, but teachers must keep growing themselves and learning from others is just one of the many ways they grow ; )
