In the decades that I've been going to Key West, I have never visited The Butterfly and Nature Conservatory. I don't know why, really. Just never got around to it. Well, this year, on Christmas Day, I righted that wrong.
As soon as I entered, a butterfly landed on me! It was so cool. I think it was my Cubs t-shirt. Even butterflies want to go to The Friendly Confines.
Here's a butterfly having Christmas dinner. They are very still as they eat, sucking the fruit juices in through their proboscises.
There are two in this shot. Can you spot them?
My favorite picture. Pretty and peaceful.
The Conservatory is more then butterflies. There are also turtles and these two: Rhett and Scarlett.
My first stop after the Conservatory was Margaritaville. This City Mouse can only take so much nature!
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I've been to a butterfly room before and it was spectacular--I'd never seen anything like it.
