I know that Daniel Wurtzel is making a statement here, and I’ll admit that these things are impressive when they catch the light. But the “quivering in the wind” part isn’t value-added for me…. [his work with actual Jell-o is more interesting]
These things were 5-6 feet tall, in groups of three — three with embedded butterflies [yes, real] and three without.
We had stopped on our way out of Bethesda, on a sunny afternoon filled with traffic. The butterflies, obviously, weren’t going anywhere.
