Tonight I espied a pretty butterfly--is it an Orchard Swallowtail?--fluttering around the lamp outside our garage. A frog was present, too, to bear witness to the pretty butterfly dance.

I've been trying to film these larger butterflies, in the daylight, for weeks and weeks, now, but have not yet had such a good photo opportunity, as this, tonight.

The butterfly's dance performance--or is it just destroying itself?--seemed enhanced by the mercury lamp. It reminded me of a famous dancer who once visited Madame Curie (to enquire as to whether or not radium could be used as a fancy lighting trick, worn on the body, to make her dance more ethereal, magical, wonderful and beautiful.)
