and speaking of miracles








Albert Einstein once said, “There are only two ways to live your life: as though nothing is a miracle, or as though everything is a miracle.”

A naturalist lives life as though there is a miracle happening every hour of every day. All you have to do is find it.

And speaking of miracles...Sixty-one minutes ago, I watched the above monarch butterfly emerge from her chrysalis. 

For those of you who were at Wilderness Wildlife Week and know the story, this butterfly is just one of 37 monarch caterpillars that Glenna Julian rescued after their host plants were cut down by a maintenance crew in Sevierville. 




This is what the monarch looked like two weeks ago. May 10.
The larval monarch was being held by one of my assistant naturalists.
