This is a sign of spring for me, especially now, when some Robins have started to stay year round in Colorado. This picture was taken at Crown Hill Park, near Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The park belongs to Jefferson County Open Space, and they have a wildlife sanctuary in one corner of the park, where I got this image, in February 2008.
Now simply a metaphor for lightmindedness, the butterfly is an ancient symbol of immortality, its life cycle providing a perfect analogy: life (the crawling caterpillar), death (the dark chrysalis) and rebirth (the soul fluttering free). Hence the Greek myth of Psyche (literally “soul”). Depicted in art with butterfly wings, she was a mortal freed from death when Zeus was touched by her love for Eros – and his love for her. / Butterflies are emblems of souls are found as far apart as Zaire, central Asia, Mexico and New Zealand. They appear with their meaning on Christian tombs, and Christ is sometimes depicted holding the butterfly of resurrection. Butterflies represented the souls of slain Aztec warriors and were sacred to several Mexican deities, their flickering wings also symbolizing solar fire, an idea that recurs in Celtic tradition. In China, the butterfly is an emblem of leisure and a young male lover; through a phonetic link with the word for “seventy” it is also, when linked with the plum, a metaphor for beauty in old age. In Japan the creature stands for transient joy, female vanity and the geisha; a pair of butterflies represents conjugal bliss. In folklore illustration, fairies are often shown with butterfly wings.

141 views Bohemian Waxwings are sleek, masked birds with unusual red, waxy deposits at the tips of their secondary feathers. They are grayish-brown with white and yellow wing-patches and yellow terminal tail-bands. They have distinctive crested heads, black throats, and black masks lightly lined with white. Their heads have a rufous tinge, and their undertail coverts are rufous. Juveniles have most of the aforementioned field marks, but are mottled gray-brown and lack the feather-tips. The feather-tips seem to increase in number and size as the birds age.
marker, 0.1 mitsubishi liner on paper / ‘Seasons’ – it’s the emotional set with myself as main hero. Sometimes I feel new energy (Spring AKA Rising) and I start new things or I’m strong to fight against something bad (Summer AKA Lost Soul) and I find right way… Sometimes I feel like a fallen angel (Autumn AKA Fall). I try to fly but somethings keeps my feet on the ground (Winter)... So, that four pieces are about my emotions. Huh, I don’t like to describe my works.
