Description
On my way home from work today, I chanced upon this poor fellow. he apparently collided with an auto and managed to make it to the sidewalk.
I much rather prefer to take their photos while in flight or perched on a flower. but I felt he needed some remembrance. may his heaven be filled with necter-filled flowers and willing females.

Mike, awesome friggin' sentiment! I love the way you think! But I hate when this happens. My building is on the highway so I find them too. Sucks. It usually takes me about twice as long to cut the grass as it should because I give the crickets, grasshoppers, and moths the right of way. LOL! It's true. I caught a big ass black snake the other day too about six feet long. I let him go. He'll eat a ton of rodents this Summer and they're not poisonous.

beautiful but sad..it happened once I found a dragonfly that collided with an auto and i picked it up and took it with me home and played with it for a while then I put alcohol on it and killed becaue he was not able to fly anymore and was most likely will die anyways, but I kept it dried in an egg carton for a few years as display....maybe that is why I like dragonflies in my renders :)

I just left shroom-bobs or magic shrooms.... I can't think staight right now, my mind is free of drugs or alcohol and has been for years, it's just I just left Bob's gallery and saw Susan's avatar since hearing of her bad news - my mind went blank and right before bob's gallery I was comforting a friend who's wife has cheated on him... then I come here and see the title and the butterfly... I feel the same way you do, I would of posted it too mike, but the timeing...it's sad... maybe too sad at this point to post, if you know what I mean.... sometimes our imaginations get the best of us and sometimes we don't see something that could be so obvious.
