The Butterfly Catchers

All photographers are butterfly catchers.
They try to catch the most beautiful, amazing, remarkable, admirable, profound, interesting, unique, shocking, enthralling, entertaining, moving, prized monarch butterflly floating out there in the winds of nature.
These butterfly catchers have two basic essentials. What they catch and what they use to catch these butterflies.
These two factors, the instruments for catching, and what they actually catch, form the basic root of all quadratic equations of the essence of catching butterflies.
Some catchers use the most basic of nets to catch the most prized butterflies. Some catchers have an array of the most expensive nets and machinery for catching butterflies and are proudly displayed everywhere but they never seem to catch those outstanding trophies except for a few blow flies and European wasps.
Catchers often congregate together to compare butterflies but sadly the majority of catchers dwell on comparing their latest catching instruments and upgrades.
Catchers seem to be happy on two things. They are happy that they have the latest and greatest of catching equipment, or they are happy with going out there to catch the butterfly using only what they can afford for the present.
Happy is the catcher who can balance these two things.

...and yet we are all butterfly catchers.

Huh? Like, x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0...the roots of that quadratic equation are -3, and -2.

+1


...or should that be -3 or -2

No, they are both real roots.

Sadly, this year I didn't get anything I'm particularly happy with. Best I could grab was this:



Great net, lousy handling.

Nice butterfly. I agree with Raoul. I don't think I can qualify it any further. Fun, Inspirational, Feelings.....
