0002 — A Butterfly Above a Pond

There is a pond located in a state park in southern Delaware, originally formed by dam built to power a sawmill, more than two-hundred years ago. The state park, which is the first state park in Delaware, created in 1951, sits on the remnants of a wetland, surrounded by whatever bald cypress trees were lucky enough to have ancestors outlive that sawmill. Near the water there is a small playground, on that playground there is a very large bright, red ladybug, with two small seats and just enough space for two small children to sit inside. And perched on the flowers and plants throughout the park, sometimes flying over the water, there are butterflies of normal sizes.
