There were crowds of people at Huntley Meadows Park on Monday, a holiday in the United States, but I managed to find some moments of serenity and solitude as I contemplated this skipper butterfly perched on a faded iris at the edge of a vernal pool off of the beaten path.
I may be a little selfish, I suppose, but I enjoy nature most when I don’t have to share it with others.
