Butterflies (number one)

The air is like a butterfly
With frail blue wings.
The happy earth looks at the sky
And sings.

~ Joyce Kilmer ( Spring )

Here is a link to an earlier blog post with a young boy looking at a beautiful butterfly on his hand: Spring --third photo. This post also has a link to Krohn Conservatory.

    This photos was taken at a butterfly exhibit at Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati. What I like about it is the different ages of the hands all sharing in the joy of holding the butterfly.

    That is beautiful! I have never seen such a vibrantly green butterfly, and I love the difference in hands all together there.

    Every year Krohn Conservatory has a butterfly exhibit in one of the garden rooms. They get butterflies from all over the world. I did not know any of these people. But there is a lot of "bonding" going on among the butterfly observers. I had my camera at the ready. (There is another blog post about this here: http://splendidlittlestars.blogspot.com/2009/03/spring.html --third photo.) I can't tell you exactly why this particular butterfly landed--sometimes they smell sweetness; other times they are attracted to color. At other butterfly exhibits I have been to, fruit and/or sugar water is put out for them. At one place they let you dip your fingers into it.
