Life-Size Butterflies of Southern Ontario
by Mike G. Peters
The beauty of the butterfly . . .
Mike G. Peters loves the outdoor world. He has an extraordinary respect for our natural surroundings. And he certainly knows beauty when he sees it.
That's what makes his latest project -- Life-Size Butterflies of Southern Ontario -- so special. Peters gives us page after page of full-colour photographic images of the butterflies that bring such richness and pleasure to our lives. The beautiful Tiger Swallowtail, the distinctive Red Admiral and, of course, the glorious Monarch, are there in all their splendour, lovingly photographed in their natural surroundings of Southern Ontario's forests, bogs and marshes.
There's a theme that runs through Peters' work. He lives in the Guelph area, right in the heart of fast-growing, fast-moving Southern Ontario, a land of cars, malls and super-highways that is fast losing touch with the natural world. Peters, in his own way, reminds us to slow down, to treasure the joys of nature, and to protect our delicate natural heritage before it is lost forever.
In the world of Mike G. Peters, there is nothing more fragile than a butterfly -- and in this painstakingly crafted collection of photographs, there is nothing as beautiful either.
