The Butterfly Conservatory

Over the weekend we had the opportunity to take "E" to the Wings of Paradise Butterfly Conservatory in Cambridge. It was such a cool place to be able to observe so many different butterflies fluttering around.






As amazing as all the butterflies are, it is just down right hot and humid in the conservatory for them, so poor "E" was just sweating in her red sweater. However, she did not let this stop her from making friends with the butterflies.





There is also a spot set up where many different chrysalides are hanging together and you can actually watch the butterflies emerge.

Gerberas are just such a happy flower

I just cannot help but smile when I see a gerbera, so I thought this cold snowy day would be perfect for posting a few pictures of this vibrant flower.

A Photo Challenge

I have been tagged by my SIL Ally for this photo challenge:

So what I am supposed to do is:

Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.

1. Pick the 6th Folder, then select the the 6th picture in that folder.

2. Post that picture on your blog and the story that goes along with the picture.

3. Tag 6 other people that you know or don’t know, to do the same thing and leave a comment on their blog or an e-mail letting them know you chose them.



Now for the story. I am not sure there is much of a story. This was taken back in May on night just before sunset when I was practicing my back lighting and little "E" was kind of enough to pose for me. I love this picture of her though, because well, it is so her, hair all over the place, happy and totally carefree.

Now just to find 6 people to tag. I will be back with some names.

Dreaming of Spring

I don't know about you, but I always get anxious for spring, and colour in the world again around this time of year. I could not pass up these cute miniature bulbs they other day. They certainly brighten up my kitchen.

More Frost
