I have been looking out for Butterflies in our garden since the heavy incessant started about ten days ago. As I am used to the sites where the Butterflies go to gather nectar, I positioned myself during the dry spell in between to get a glimpse of the visiting butterflies.
I was glad that I was present camera ready, during an ultrashort visit of the Butterfly to the front garden!
Normally a Butterfly rests on the flower or flutters over it to gather nectar!
What I noticed was an unsettled behaviour of the Butterfly flying between flowers.
The Sunbirds had already visited the flowers earlier in the day! No wonder there was not much left for the Butterfly !
It is when one sees such sights, one gets more familiar with the various constraints or adversity a Butterfly has to overcome !
A flower is a feeder and a Butterfly is a finder!
That thought stayed with me during the morning- to be a feeder for finders!
A mother bird is the feeder and the baby bird is the finder!
That was what I noticed yesterday in our feeding table when the mother Barbet waited with mouthful of banana chunks for the baby Barbet to come and take a portion from the bills.
Am I conscious about my role as a feeder for the finders to receive their daily portion of encouragement!
It is what and how I say or write or how regardfully I stay in touch with, which finders are looking for!
