By mid afternoon there was often little still to be seen but this day there were still a few good butterflies around.
A really exciting sighting for me though it seems that I had photographed one before - on my very first Neotropical visit.

This bust is a Roman replica depicting Socrates. The head is set on a shaft with stump-like arms. It seems that this statue is a Roman replica of a Greek original dated back to the fourth century BCE. The Roman influence is obvious in the realistic features, as well as the hairdress and the beard style; while the Greek influence appears in the round face and the meditating look which has a touch of perfectionism.
Since the vast majority of the original Greek portraits were lost, collections of portraits of famous Greeks were made by Roman intellectuals and aesthetes in the late Classical and Hellenistic times to adorn their houses, libraries and gardens. The bust became a favourite form of portraiture among the Romans.
Socrates was the first great Greek philosopher, Athenian by birth. He lived during the City's golden age. He was born around 470 BCE and died in 399 BCE. As a young man, he studied the then fashionable philosophies of what is now known as the "pre-Socratic philosophers" who, in their different ways, were trying to understand the world around us. Socrates questioned what effect did nature have on our lives. He wanted to know how far the Sun was from the Earth. Our behaviour could, in no way, be affected by such knowledge, we needed to know how to conduct our lives? What is right? What is just?
Socrates did not think he knew the answers to these questions, but he realized that no one else knew them either. When the oracle at Delphi declared him to be the wisest of men, it meant nothing to him as he was convinced that he barely knows anything since he has not reached the answers he was seeking. So he went around Athens raising the basic questions of morality and politics with anyone who would listen to him, people gathered around him wherever he went, especially the eager young. He was teaching people to question everything; he became a highly controversial figure, much loved, but also much hated.
In the end, the authorities arrested him on the charge of corrupting the young, and not believing in the gods of the city. He was put on trial, and condemned to die by poison. The detailed story of his trial and death is one of the most inspiring tragedies in the history of human philosophy; he left no books which men could study following his death. He taught his followers to question and argue, to use discussion as a mean of reaching the truth, and always to seek the “good”.

Única unanimidade em uma pesquisa realizada, em 2006, pela Revista Placar para escolher o "time de todos os tempos" do Corinthians. Novamente, a única unanimidade, em uma pesquisa com especialistas, para escolher os dez maiores ídolos da história do Corinthians. Eleito em 1983 o melhor jogador sulámericano do ano. Escolhido pela FIFA em 2004 como um dos 125 melhores jogadores vivos da história e considerado por muitas pubicações especializadas, como CNN, World Soccer e Placar, como um dos grandes jogadores de todos os tempos, foi um atleta reconhecido por seu estilo elegante. Uma característa do jogador que marcou sua passagem pelo futebol foi a sua habilidade e uso inteligente do calcanhar. Mas era um jogador completo, marcava gols de falta, de cabeça e fora-da-área com frequência. Dava assistências perfeitas para seus companheiros marcarem muitos gols.
Foi revelado pelo Botafogo, clube de Ribeirão Preto, onde foi considerado um fenômeno desde o início, pois quase não treinava em função de frequentar o curso de medicina na Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto (USP). Nesse time ele foi campeão do 1º Turno do Campeonato Paulista de 1977 e artilheiro do campeonato. Também se destacou no Campeonato Brasileiro, autor de um célebre gol de calcanhar contra o Santos em plena Vila Belmiro.
Socrátes se firmaria no Corinthians em 1978, refazendo a dupla com seu ex-companheiro Geraldo Manteiga. Mas seus grandes companheiros de ataque nesse time seriam Palhinha e o amigo Casagrande.

Na Copa do Mundo de 1986 estaria novamente em ação, mas já fora de forma ideal. Ficaria ainda marcado pelo penâlti desperdiçado contra a França, na decisão que desclassificou o Brasil.
Depois de uma rápida e decepcionante passagem pelo Fiorentina, prejudicado pelos companheiros de quem suspeitava que manipulassem resultados, Sócrates retornou ao Brasil para encerrar a carreira aonde atuaria ainda no Flamengo, no Santos e no Botafogo de Ribeirão Preto. Em 2004, atendendo a um convite de um amigo, ele participou de uma partida com a camisa do Garfoth Town, equipe da oitava divisão da Inglaterra.
Fora do futebol, Sócrates sempre manteve uma ativa participação política, tanto em assuntos relacionados ao bem-estar dos jogadores quanto aos temas correntes do país. Participou da campanha Diretas Já, em 1984 e foi um dos principais idealizadores do movimentoDemocracia Corintiana, que reivindicava para os jogadores mais liberdade e mais influência nas decisões administrativas do clube.

Most of the greatest philosophers and thinkers of the Western world up to the 16th Century are included in the 'School of Athens' fresco. This group of figures include (from right) Socrates, Aeschines and Alcibiades.
Socrates with his prominent forehead looks much like he does on surviving ancient busts. He is expounding on something to Aeschines the famous Orator (dress in green and blue), and a helmeted and armoured soldier, usually identified as Alcibiades.
Aeschines (389–314 BC) was a Greek statesman and famous Orator. Alcibiades (450–404 BC) was an Athenian general and politician during the Peloponnesian War. Some identify this soldier figure as Alexander the Great, who while not a philosopher, had been the most famous historical figure of the ancient world and a student of Aristotle.

My dad used to paraphrase Socrates by saying " Don't bring shame to your name boy". I've always tried to honor his request.

I cannot even describe how much I love this quilt. to me it's like a study of contrasting themes:
-symmetry and asymmetry
-predictability and randomness
-consonance and dissonance
I could go on, but I'll spare you the strange journey into my psyche.
I'll just say that Chawne is the best ever, and I can't believe she quilted something so amazing for me. did I mention she hand sewed the backing? holy dedication batman!
So thanks C, I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
