About Mind & Trivia
From the first robin of spring to the drifting path of a monarch butterfly, creatures on the wing have a hold on the imagination like few others. A sparrow perched on a fence post, an eagle riding a thermal high above a canyon, a warbler threading song through the morning light — each one a small miracle of feather, hollow bone, and instinct. Butterflies trace their own quiet magic, beginning curled inside a chrysalis before unfurling into color and flight.
