Angels With Broken Wings Alice Shiels 10 July 2002 Angels with broken wings are still angels. They rest their tattered bodies on olive branches and fig leaves, staring at the sun. Until one day, the sun becomes hidden by the clouds... Then, while all the people within the realm of the reality that we know find solace in the warmth of their homes, protected from the cold, the angel remains outside whipped and beaten by the storm. Everyone feels sorry for her until the rain stops, and they realize her beautiful wet wings glisten even more in the sunlight after they have survived the abuses of nature... Their empathy turns to jealousy, and the wrath of their fiery eyes is too much for our poor wet angel to withstand... Too bad she's beautiful... Blue Morpho Butterfly

What a beautiful shot, I love butterflies. It was one of the last subjects I was able to draw. I await the day I get a shot like this.Ann Fawssett-Atkin 16 Jul 2008

"You just don't throw a whole life away because it is banged up a little." When I saw this photo (not sure why) I immediately thought of the movie Seabiscuit. Have you seen the bumper stickers "I brake for butterflies" - that would be me - not to the extreme, but I try to miss them if at all safely possible with the vehicle. Still the Above's beautiful creature!Sharon Gonzalez 16 Jul 2008
