Another beautiful post. The images are always so exquisite 👌 I love whatever you can muster. Also love the inter-weaving with personal nuggets 🌸 thank you Bailey 🦋
So spooky! I have literally just been looking in my files for a picture related to Nabokov and his love of butterflies, which I'll be posting in my newsletter on Friday. I will tag your Subsyack so people can explore the topic further!
I really enjoy your missives and am happy with whichever length suits you. Animals provide such an interesting lens to look at people's lives through. Thank you for sharing your interests and writing gifts with us.
What a lovely read about an author and his hobby. Even though I don’t like that butterlies got collected in this way I cannot get passed how dedicated Nabokov is and his face is that if a child in this images caught in the heat if butterfly action. Butterflies are special and beautiful. Recently when one fell out if the city sky and landed on my feet I took its picture and wrote a piece. It was inevitable. A wonderful article this was.
Species Profile: Lycaeides melissa samuelis Nabokov, 1944: Karner blue (Lycaenidae: Polyommatinae: Polyommatini) is my all-time favorite butterfly. It looks like it came out of an old timey Disney hand animation studio. Golden spots on sky blue wings.
I love every single one of these posts. I tend to prefer reading the long ones but I'm here for the short ones as well. They all delight me.
I am an animal enthusiast AND a former artist (very unknown!) until RA took it away (no whining just stating the facts ; ))
I have commented very little, if at all, but I do enjoy reading all of the stories and seeing the art.
I figure this was as good a time as any to comment!
Thank you

Thanks for reading sweet Hannah
I hope you'll consider Saul Steinberg and his beloved cat Papoose.
