The Julia Heliconian Butterfly always has beige or muted colors on the bottom of the wings, but this one photographed in my garden in July seemed “muted” all over, most likely because of the sky or sunlight that particular day. It gave this particular butterfly a feeling of calm, sophistication, and nostalgia, I think. Evoking a sense of subtlety.
See how bright an orange the top wings can be in my gallery: Julia Heliconian. And 2 more shots of this one . . .
¡Pura Vida!
My Health Update . . .
Wednesday night I got my last IV antibiotic (at home!) and Thursday morning started taking an oral antibiotic for 15 days. It must be a wicked infection! 🙂 I just rest and take the meds until finished and should be as good as new! 🙂 Later I may try to share the adventurous story of 6 nights in 2 different emergency rooms in Costa Rica. Amazing! But not today. I am fine and just need a little more time for the meds to work and I will be back to my old “normal,” whatever that is! 🙂
¡Pura Vida!
Charlie, I’m so happy to hear this! You’ve been in my prayers as well as the rest of the family here. Continue to rest and take care of yourself! You’re in our thoughts.
