Transparency can be beautiful

Transparentbutterfly1010There’s a lesson for legal writers in these photos of glasswing butterflies: Transparency can be beautiful.

Transparency in writing means that nothing in the writing obstructs the message, as a clean picture window does not obstruct the view. Writing that does that can be exquisite.

Okay, I’ll admit that this post is a stretch. I’m just looking for an excuse to share the photos.
