The Chinese New Year, Rooster 2017:
The idea to put the butterfly with the rooster came to me from seeing 
butterflies in my garden, especially Monarch butterflies, during late Summer
in upstate New York. You may say that the butterfly and rooster are greeting
each other, or perhaps the rooster is looking for a chance to catch the beautiful
butterfly, making for a tense moment.
