Sunandflowers2013

A small white moth flitted among the tiny white flowers in the grasses glowing in the late afternoon sun.  I pointed it out to my young daughter and wished for a camera to capture its beauty. I wondered what she thought about seeing a little white moth for the first time. We passed a tree with broad leaves and I let her hold a leaf. She clutched it in her tiny fist, long fingers wrapped around the slender stem all the way home.
