fluttering by - grey

this butterfly was kind enough to be my model for about half an hour today... it was very cooperative and let me get very close to it, so i decided to see if it would climb onto my finger.. well, it did. i am pretty sure that butterflys only behave in this fashion when they are close to death, which is kind of sad... but now it's immortal and it also put a great big smile on my face, i love butterflys..

..life is like a butterfly,
all we do is flutter by..

i'm submitting a color and a b/w version just cuz.. also if you think you might want to use this image for anything please ask first!
