Butterfly Mania ~ Butterfly Park Lake Gardens 08.01.11

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.  ~Rabindranath Tagore


Look what we spotted first! It was huge... as big as my finger!

Pretty little miss

Whaddya lookin' at?

Dragonfly in Motion


A TIGER butterfly Mom!! Look!!!


I've watched you now a full half-hour;
Self-poised upon that yellow flower
And, little Butterfly!  Indeed
I know not if you sleep or feed.
How motionless! - not frozen seas
More motionless! and then
What joy awaits you, when the breeze
Hath found you out among the trees,
And calls you forth again!
~William Wordsworth, "To a Butterfly"




Check out his EYES Mama!!

This one is my friend Mama!


Thrilled at last!
But these are flowers that fly and all but sing:
And now from having ridden out desire
They lie closed over in the wind and cling
Where wheels have freshly sliced the April mire.
~Robert Frost, "Blue-Butterfly Day"

The Zoo ~ 02.01.2011

Today we went to the zoo, but really I only wanted to see butterflies.
This beautiful one landed on me and I was thrilled!
This gorgeous lady flew on to me and stayed on me for half an hour!

                                       Till I put it back on the flowers to feed as we were leaving.

                                    My collection of dead butterflies. So sad. Wish they were still alive..
