Butterflies, Butterflies

This is the only butterfly that sat still long enough for me to photograph it.

It was quite an experience. Hundreds of butterflies in all colors and sizes fluttered about in a large conservatory, with as many people churning through the exhibit to see it. Artists also exhibited giant paintings of insects. There was a preying mantis, butterfly art, and others.

Educational exhibits also abounded.

It was a spectacle worth seeing, as was watching the joyous abandon of a 4-year-old as he squeezed through the crowd in pursuit of the elusive examples of God's art in flight.

As a special treat, he also painted a clay pot and received a plant to go with it.
