Jess' Project: Operation Growin' Me A Monarch

As a little girl at South Bristol Elementary School I was enchanted by our observation of the transformation of a funny, striped-pajama-wearing caterpillar into a Monarch Butterfly. I was fortunate enough to recreate the project this August and photo-document the changes. I have posted a collage of those photographs here.
Unlike people, butterflies undergo change naturally, without struggle or forethought. Perhaps it is because they are so fraught with effort and struggle that our own, human journeys toward change can be also be amazing; colorful and beautiful!
