True Camouflage

I was up in Georgian Bay this weekend. One morning, I went for a hike and picked up a small butterfly in my camera. This butterfuly must be native to the area. I am astounded by its camouflage.

I saw it first in the leaves. Can you see it?


Here it is.


Then I followed it to the rock.


Here it is again.

I like to camouflage in the house under the unfolded, yet clean, laundry. It's amazing what people wont touch in there own house. I swear I could sit there for hours and nothing would be folded. It's the perfect hiding spot!

Oh I forgot to ask, how was the family reunion?

There are things one wants to blather on about, then there are things one doesn't want traced back. We're funny that way.

I hate to tell you but as beautiful as the creature is, it's a moth not a butterfly (albeit it, a very large one) I often wish I could camoflage myself in my yard but there isn't enough foliage to hide myself away from my two fighting daughters. Sigh!!
