   We recently took a trip to the Butterfly Conservatory in Deerfield Massachusetts. Both the kids and myself really had a good time on this trip. There were so many different types of butterflies, more than you would have ever thought.

  The kids had a great time seeing all of the different types of butterflies. They were so colorful and some even decided to land on us.

   There were butterflies in the flowers, the trees, and anywhere you looked you would see them.

   The colors were so vibrant . This was truely a beautiful place to visit.

The Butterfly Conservatory is located in Deerfield Massachusetts it is a great day trip. There is also Yankee Candle and a Car Museum in that same area. We had a real good time when we visited.

beautiful photos, even though i have to admit that i am not a fan of butterflies. in fact, i have quite a bad phobia of them. i went to a butterfly conservatory once, in hopes of getting over the stupid fear, but all it idid was make it worse! still, the photos are lovely. :)

Your pictures are wonderful. We went to a butterfly house last year and I loved it. It was so beautiful, and such a peaceful experience.

Sounds cool but I couldn't handle butterflies landing on me. I know they are pretty and all but it doesn't matter what it is when it starts creeping around on me.

You got some great photos. We live near St Louis which has the Butterfly House in West County, about an hour-and-a-half drive from here, when I-64 is not torn up for construction. Really nice place, huge atrium that takes up about half the building filled with butterflies from all over. Also has displays in the other section, a movie, and a nice gift shop with all things bug.
