Today the sun was shining and we had to be in town anyway, so after our errands, we went to the Butterfly House in town. But first, some pictures of the garden in the snow.
And pictures of boys taking pictures with their cameras.
We had a great time there and it wasn't too crowded. We timed it perfectly between two school groups. All but Aaron got a butterfly (or two) to sit on their hands. Nathan has a Buckeye butterfly.
He gave it to Deborah to hold. She was thrilled. It had just come out of the cocoon house (?) and seemed to be content just to sit.
Stephen has a Julia Butterfly on his hand.
And now for some just pretty butterfly pictures. I think this is a White Morpho.
Julia
Red Admiral
Monarch
Zebra
And Stephen's favorite - Red Postman

those are pretty! Will you go again, or do you just do it once?
I'm the only local blogger who has taken but not posted pix of that, I think. I should do that today.
We usually only do the Butterfly thing one time. Besides, there will soon be tulips and then lilacs....
the first picture is wonderful. it reminds me of the work of andy goldworthy
Those are great pics! Especially the monarch, is it legal to use pictures off your site for reports - I assume there's no copywrite.

Sure, go ahead and use the monarch picture.
