A freshly emerged Gulf Fritillary.
The Gulf fritillary or passion butterfly (Dione vanillae) is a bright orange butterfly in the subfamily Heliconiinae of the family Nymphalidae. I raised this particular specimen, and photographed it in Northern Florida on its host plant.

Now is clear staring at me. What is waiting to move into the now, is unclear, unfocused, and unknown. Why is this the place my mind chooses to focus on? Why do I have to remind it to return to the now? Do I love a good mystery, is my curiosity so strong or I'm I bored with now? The unknown captivates me for so many reasons. I'm watching the mind, so clarity can be found in all states of mind.
