Butterflies! Butterflies!

fairchild 048 (640x453)

Fairchild Tropical Gardens recently added an amazing indoor butterfly exhibit with 3,000 butterflies in the conservatory.  Next door there is a chrysalis room where more beauties transform everyday.  It is now a must see in Miami. 

Our friends invited us to marvel at the garden this morning.  It was a bit chilly, which meant less flying, but it was easier to examine the butterflies.  We were given a card to identify species, which Max was remarkably adept at doing.  The best word to decribe this morning’s adventure:

magic.

Which is your favorite? 

Mine is this last shot, which captured the boys excitement over seeing two Brown Owl Butterflies together.  My favorite butterfly was as big as my hand, purple and orange and would not sit still for a picture.  I felt like the paps trying to hunt it down, but I never got the shot.
