Butterflies

Saturday was such a beautiful day here in West Michigan. We went to Frederick Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, a popular attraction here for locals and passersby. Of course this time of year we didn't go to see the gardens in bloom, but to see the BUTTERFLIES. Every year about this time Meijer Gardens has an exhibit, Foremost's Butterflies Are Blooming. Apparently everyone else in the city had the same idea, it was quite crowded.

More than 6000 tropical butterflies from Asia and South and Central America fly free among plants two stories tall. We were walking amongst the butterflies. They would whiz by. They were even landing on some people with colorful shirts. Rojelio was lucky enough to have one land on his hand. And I was even luckier to have the camera ready to get a great picture of it!
We took so many wonderful pictures.After we were done enjoying the butterflies and taking pictures we ate lunch.
We found out Tuesday nights are Flashlight Tuesday Nights. Where you can bring a flashlight and experience the butterflies' nightlife. We're game!
