Spicebush Swallowtail - Gentle Arrival Quantity:Set of Four Matching Coasters I recall waiting a longThere's a quiet grace in the moment a butterfly comes to rest wings open, balanced lightly atop a cluster of pink blossoms. Set against a soft green forest backdrop, this spicebush swallowtail feels like a gentle arrival, a pause where color, movement, and stillness meet. I photographed this scene in Humble, Texas, as the butterfly settled among the blossoms, the contract of her dark wings and delicate pink blossoms creating a calm, harmonious rhythm.
