‘Royal Monarch’ has a special poignancy for me as hidden in the spectacularly obvious,
…there are indications of life’s hardships and mortality…
the butterfly itself has a damaged wing and the sunflower a damaged petal…
Things are not always are as they seem at face value,
behind the smiling face of our friends, family and colleagues
there lie scattered amongst the shards of happiness
little splinters of hardships and heart-aches…

Sighhh, I can but watch and comment as I’m currently camera-less. I’m busy re-hashing old stuff and enjoying your new stuff….
