Blue Morpho Butterfly
It was a fortunate moment when I saw this one. It was at a wild flower garden with a special butterfly farm, very much like a special aviary for these flutterbys, but this beauty was still a bit tricky to find sitting still and when you did, the wings were usually closed up.

This guy (or girl) is a Peleides Blue Morpho, Common Morpho, or The Emperor Morpho peleides, so named by Vincenz Kollar around 1850. It's entire lifecycle is only 115 days from egg to adult. They drink the juices from rotting fruits for food.

As an award-winning photographer, I have been behind a camera as early as age 10 - capturing the light on the leaves, through the trees, the setting sun behind storm clouds and watching sunlight dance on the water.

My love of people watching turned into candid portraits, macro, landscape and street photography. I am a writer, photographer, traveler, lucid dreamer ...not necessarily in that order.
