About the Photographer
Retired pro, but a lifelong amateur at heart. Also a diver with decades of experience, and still addicted to underwater photography. I never go to water without a camera, to be able to record the beauties of the submerged Nature. Which, as you well know, covers the largest part of the Earth.
I will enjoy what our wonderful Earth offers to our eyes and mind for as long as I can.
Seeing many of those butterflies tottering on the ground we realized we were witnessing the Ending Of Life - and in large numbers. As if all of these beauties have appeared on the same day, they were now all dying in the same span of maybe two days.
Nature is uncanny.
