My Butterfly Muses

<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(83 90 98 1)>I embarked on a new project that I hope will inspire a renewed sense of wonderment in what has become my lost world. The result is My Butterfly Muses: An Anthology of Adventures on the Nature of Butterflies. Within its pages are eighteen personal essays-tales if you will-from my lengthy past. Each presents butterflies at their grandest in their reasonably intact habitats. All except one of the essays was published previously in a more technical format in a scientific periodical and/or in a commercial nature-centered magazine. Here each is presented in a new format I hope to engage both professional and non-specialists who espouse an interest in nature and who will chance a break from the ubiquitous video screen. The style is a synthesis between technical and popular writing accented with dramatic photographs-in other words serious science presented in everyday conversational language. </span></p>
