Stasia observing, Home

Earlier this year, my granddaughter Stasia was fitted for glasses and while they're very pretty, they also seem to have turned her into a near-teen. She sometimes looks so studious, especially when she spots something interesting and wants to give it a close read. Today, while we were walking through the yard, she noticed a butterfly, and those are always worth a second look. The lepidopteran was especially cooperative and landed in a patch of clover not too far from the detective, who crept closer and closer to eye the insect. For its part, the butterfly, which we identified as a female Cabbage White, paid the observer little heed as it nectared and let Stasia get within arm's range. That, however, was close enough and when we attempted a more macro view, the lady took off and vanished.
