Photo Finish for October 31, 2008
This one’s for Beth. About 10 days ago, when riding my bike on a hilly route, I was paced by this monarch butterfly. He had no trouble outdistancing me, since I was climbing a steep grade at about eight miles per hour. But he tired of the race and stopped for nourishment at roadside flowers on his migration south. I wished him the best of luck on his journey, and extend the same to Beth on her birthday, too.
