Summer’s nearing end has insect shells and carcasses littering the ground around these parts, particularly those of the beloved cicada.  Also, Monarch butterflies will be heading south this month, and I’m hoping to see more than the few I’ve seen this summer.  This has me loving the “broken butterflies” by Anne ten Donkelaar.  The artist repairs damaged butterflies according to their needs, adding sweet descriptions of her work below the images, which can be seen on her website.
