As Kit peered through his binoculars, trying to find the bird singing in the canopy above, a kaleidoscope of Monarch butterflies interjected itself between himself and the trees, obscuring his view.
Great metaphor for focusing on something when something else interrupts or becomes more urgent in your face and making choices of when to focus on what.
It's a tiny part of a huge book and series, but Tad Williams has an amazing and unexpected butterfly scene in his Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy ( which is actually 4 books, pubs split the third installment).

True! I hadn't thought of that.
So wish I'd been there, too. How beautiful an image you have created 🦋
Thank you! I would love to experience this myself.
I love Nature's Kaleidoscope. It feels like I'm in a forest of poetry.
Thank you!
Loved this, Dascha. I remember Bill’s tweet! That stuck with me - as will your story.
Thanks, Justin!

Thanks for mentioning this. I'll check out the series.
It's a very deep but wonderful fantasy rabbit hole.
I just ordered it.
I have checking it out on Saturday's to-do list!
You’ll love it! 😊
I’ve read the first of that series...I can’t wait to read the rest of them. The first book ends on the ultimate cliffhanger!
The current book in the world of Osten Ard leaves on another brutal cliffhanger
Love to hear it! I’ll have to work my way through the rest of the series this summer.
I love books that do that!
A nice surprise. 🙂
It would be a wonderful experience!
