I love butterflies. My mom did, too. They have such an incredible beauty.
Iridescent scales on their wings. A lightness as you watch them fly. Bright colors that catch your attention.
As a photographer, it's so fun to try and get shots of butterflies. They move so quickly and sometimes erratically, which makes it a challenge. But the good kind of challenge.
However, not every picture I get showcases a perfect butterfly.

Monday's Musings: Who's Supporting you in Life?
by Mary Denman Twitter: @MaryDenman Instagram: @MaryFDenman
In downtown Greenville, SC, there's a great park built around a beautiful waterfall on the Reedy River.
But this wasn't always the case.
You see, back in the 50's or so, an engineer decided to put a road right through the falls. One of the columns was in the middle of the waterfall. It wasn't a pretty bridge at all. It was just a sturdy road that wasn't even utilized that much.
The park that was beneath it was neglected and actually a bit dangerous to go to since it was so isolated.
Finally, city planners decided to revitalize the downtown area. A contest began for a new pedestrian bridge to be built and the old bridge cars used was torn down. They wanted to showcase the waterfall to visitors and not have the walking bridge detract from the Reedy River.
They chose the winning design well.
It's a suspension bridge. There are no support columns directly beneath it.
