Painted Lady Butterfly, butterfly, transformation

This photograph was taken on one of my many trips to work in the Southland Community Garden (in Lexington, KY).
When I self-published my book, Expanding Horizons Through Creative Expressions in 2013 I decided to use the photograph of this Painted Lady Butterfly on the front cover.

This is a close up of a Pseudo‐Narcissus Daffodil, a very old type of daffodil, growing on the side of a small hill at Martin Acres. These Daffodils were valued by early homesteaders because they are easy to grow and spread easily. They were swapped and passed around as gifts in a marriage or whenever a couple bought a new home.
