Monarch butterfly
Delicate orange wings trimmed in black
Floating through the sky
Winged flower

Joined by thousands
A ribbon of bright color
Stretching across the blue horizon

As I sat in the grandstand listening to some great bluegrass music in Winfield, Kansas, I lifted my eyes up in wonder at the migration of the monarch butterfly as they traveled south into Mexico. This truly was a moment in time I’ll always remember.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
