A BREATH OF SPRING

Yesterday a group of us went to The Butterfly Place in Westford, MA. I had never been to a butterfly house before, and I admit I was a little unprepared to see so many different butterflies all in one place, none of which I had ever seen (or probably just didn't notice) flying around outside. There was this pretty orange one:

And this one, which was one color on the bottom of its wings:

And another color on the top:

It was suggested that we wear bright colors, and my sweater happened to be the color of the flowers that were blooming at the time. While I was bent over photographing one butterfly, another came in for a landing to check me out!

We were told that in another two months, there would be some very different varieties of butterflies, so it might be worth a trip back!
