Eccentric minor characters, such as a flaky butterfly collector who stops his jeep in the middle of the road to pursue the Great Spangled Fritillary and other rare specimens, add to the mix of interesting perspectives. From the wide vistas of saltwater marshes teeming with wildlife (great blue herons, Atlantic blue crabs, black and gold fritillary butterflies, mating lovebugs) to the majestic live oaks with whirls of Spanish moss entangled in their limbs to the wide sandy beaches with names (Nanny Goat Beach and Cabrillou) that sound like song titles, the island beckons the appreciative exploring group or the solitary writer seeking inspiration. It is fascinating to observe a female Gulf Fritillary depositing eggs on the tendrils of Passion Vine and then, after a couple of days, to discover the orange, spiny caterpillars munching away on the leaves. |
