Chasing Butterflies: Take Flight
When I started the "Chasing Butterflies" series, I had a definite start and finish envisioned for the series. Yet it seems to have taken on a life of its own... Not only is it inspiring me to continue to explore this theme, but it also seems to have formed its own sub-series. And the inspiration for this sub-series just keeps flowing. This new image "Take Flight" is part of this flow - a flow I intend to honour to its fullest by creating the images that fill my heart.

"The Visitor" | "Take Flight"
I already have four more new images for this sub-series storyboarded and ready to photograph and create. More are hovering in the corners of my mind. Forever grateful for the gift of inspiration.
The inspiration behind the "Chasing Butterflies series was that I find butterflies to be very powerful symbols with which to tell a story or convey emotions. "Take Flight" explores many of these stories and emotions - from hopes, dreams, change and growth, to beauty, flight, freedom and more...
"Until you spread your wings, you will have no idea
how far you can fly."

"If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies."
"Just like the butterfly, I too will awaken in my own time."
