Yellow & Black Butterfly

Today while I was working in the backyard a beautiful yellow and black butterfly came to a rest on a plant in the vertical grower. My instincts were to just stop working and watch it. Then my mind kicked in and I thought I should photograph it. As I carefully made my way into the house to get my camera the beautiful butterfly flew away.

My tomato plants in the front lawn vegetable garden are thick growing up the trellises. I am afraid that maybe I planted too many tomato plants around each trellis. Thus, I have been careful to regularly prune the tomato vines that do not show promise of fruit. Always trying to learn more about how to grow effectively I thought I should take a picture of the plants and measure that up with the crop I get this year. But I forgot to take the picture.

Tomorrow when I go on another Freedom March I will take my camera since I am the unofficial web person and photographer for Breaking the Silence. When I think I may be in a picturesque situation I usually have my camera. However, I usually miss the random picture opportunity like the butterfly or the thick tomato plants.

That is okay. The picture I see with my eyes and mind is more valuable than any one I can snap with a camera. All the photographs in the world cannot match the experience of mind, body and soul.
