Dow Gardens: Butterflies in Bloom

We went with Aunt Phyllis today to Dow Gardens to see the Butterflies. Aunt Phyllis has a season pass to Dow Gardens so I think we will be going again as the flowers start to bloom! Lilly calls them "bugs." It was so pretty. I have never seen so many butterflies before. They fly all around and sometimes even land on you. You can see in the pictures that one landed on Lilly's hair barrette and stayed there for quite a while! She, of course, had no idea it was even there! I didn't take the time to play with the settings on my camera so I don't think the photos are of the best quality. It is kinda hard to chase a toddler around at the same time!


I tried to get her to pose on a rock before we left but she was getting pretty tired and hungry at this point!



Look carefully for the butterfly on her barrette in the next two photos!
