A Dream of Wings - Hardcover Nature Journal

Before the butterfly there is this — the monarch caterpillar, patient and purposeful on the milkweed stem, dreaming in its own quiet way of what it is becoming.

This watercolour image began as a photograph taken in a New Jersey pollinator garden planted specifically to welcome monarch butterflies on their extraordinary migration. Look closely and you'll see the tiny milkweed seeds waiting to float away.

There is something deeply hopeful about a caterpillar. It has no evidence that wings are coming. It simply trusts the process completely.

150 lined pages in a hardcover matte journal, 5.75 x 8 inches. For nature notes, reflections, garden journals or any thoughts that are still becoming what they will be. 🐛
