Butterflies

PhotoStory Friday
Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek




I love butterflies.
Alot.


Wouldnt it be awesome to own a butterfly conservatory?
Where you could have pretty plants that attract the butterflies.
Ooo.....I would love being the "Butterfly Lady".



I think I love them because there are so many different types.
And colours.
And sizes.
And they are quiet.
Noisy, dirty animals are not my thing.



Butterflies only live for 2-3 weeks.
So I may get attached and then when each one dies I may get depressed.
And cry alot.
And say "Why my butterfly? It's just not fair"



So maybe it is better if I just visit butterfly places.




And admire them as a visitor instead.


Buuuttttttttt..... if I did have a butterfly for a pet, I would name this one "Angel".


Because she looks like one.


And this one I would call "Norm"


But I would definitely not get attached.


*These pictures were taken today at a local butterfly conservatory by moi. If you have never been to one, I highly recommend it*

We took our daughters to a butterfly farm thinking they would love it but one was completely uninterested and the other was terrified! Oh well, I liked it!

I love butterfly places as well and those shots are wonderful! My mother actually planted a butterfly garden outside with flowers that attract butterflies and she gets quite a few visitors. But not all the colorful ones you see at the butterfly places.
