Imperfections

I've been reading a whole lot about imperfections lately. Not necessarily on purpose, either. You know how you buy a new car and suddenly see it everywhere?  That's how the concept of imperfection has been for me lately; absolutely everywhere.  In some places they talk bout how to overcome them.  In others, about what people have done to cover them up.  But more often than not, it's they talk about embracing them; about seeing the true beauty in them.

We met this butterfly over the weekend while walking through the Horicon Marsh.  I stopped to take pictures because it was so beautiful.  But also, I soon came to realize, totally imperfect. Imperfect in a way that means it won't migrate to Mexico as its siblings and cousins have already done.  And while that made the situation sad, it also made it just a bit more beautiful.
