. . . writes exquisite captions:

I can reflect more on the beauty of what I saw today. While you stand upon the bedrock of the earth, frozen as it is, you can be propelled back to the beginnings of the world all those billions of years ago. You are standing in the fires of creation with a butterfly as your guide.
