Today Kim M., her sister-in-law Ely B and I went to Magic Wings in South Deerfield MA.  Magic Wings is a butterfly conservatory. 

A clock in the entrance.

Of course, you have to have rules.

Kim and I both had hitchhikers. 

 Here are a few of the butterflies.

 

There were many benches with memorial plaques.  This one is for the victims of 09/11. 

 

This one landed on my hand while we were taking a break.

Kim and I.   Boy do I need to dye my hair.

We had lunch at the restaurant and then drove down to the Yankee Candle Flagship Store.

A place of delicate and fragrant beauty.  The intracacies of stained-glass and the gossamer loveliness of the finest lace.  Designs touched by the most divine of all art.
Nurse Nancy S. May 23, 2009, 9:45am EDT

You really got some great shots of some really beautiful butterflies. I went to the one in Albuquerque some years back and had a wonderful time taking in all the gorgeous winged beauties!
