"Nothing is as powerful as a thing whose time has ripe"
Unless we discover a missing links of our dissatisfaction and unhappiness we will never know the charm of life. Because god created life differently, living differs and his source of happiness differs. For years I have been so blind that I did not see the beauty of nature so connected with my passion. I failed to discover my voice and I was living for life of others.
Whether my passion act as stepping stones towards my self discovery or not, it has brought an unprecedented satisfaction and happiness and made me to enjoy the interconnection and beauty of life. Foresters by profession are made to explore and love nature, to care and protect them is our fundamental duties and to utilize it in a sustainable manner meeting present wants without compromising future need is our main goal. To fulfill all those criteria one should have full commitment and passion of exploring and loving it.
Recently, I was driven by some of an eye-catching beauty of butterflies. For long I thought I could not spot because lots of patients are needed to just click its beautiful pictures. But, the time has ripe for me to find my own voice and unlock my patience. Every time I spot a new species to me, my satisfaction and eagerness to explore increases. The following photos are series of butterflies spotted in College of Natural resources. I hope all my fallow mates will enjoy its beauty and contribute to conservation of the beauty of nature.
