Balsahan (Puerto Princesa) congregation

[Lydia Robledo]

Two weeks ago, I was with 8 butterfly nuts from Hong Kong in Puerto Princesa to butterfly watch for a week, led by my book partner-mentor. On the last day, I did not want to take the long trail, so I opted to stay behind to do the other thing I love to do- rock piling by the Balsahan River. I took a break and was beginning to get envious since I had not taken any shot of a butterfly that day. It was already 2pm. I do not know what made me look on the ground, there was nothing moving, i'd say it was a special prompting called grace. God loves me, truly.
The Polyura butterflies.

The other pile. Ephemeral art that needs no special skill. Try it sometime.
The 7 days butterfly-watching trip was blessed with rain at night and sunshine, not too harsh, all the days. I had to build an altar of stone for each day. This was the last day with a bonus of the Polyuras the others missed. It was my special treat.
