Over Thanksgiving we were able to take the little ones to the Sioux Falls Butterfly House. If you are ever driving through Sioux Falls I highly recommend taking a break and stopping there. It is an amazing experience. I could just sit there for hours watching the wonders of nature.
I so love the look of wonder.
I wish they came to my butterfly feeders like this.
Not a butterfly, but a very pretty flower.
If you are really patient one may land on you.
You must be very patient.
I put up Christmas decorations today, but they don't hold a candle to nature's natural decorations. Sorry, I fail at being an educational site. I don't have the names of the butterflies. The girls kept the check off sheet. It is always an amazing experience going to the Butterfly House. I am thankful I have been able to share the experience with my nieces. With the current cold snap (it has been -18 here) I thought I would re-live the experience. Warm thoughts to you.
Yikes! -18!! Brrrr. Love the photos!:)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty butterflies...and takes my mind off of the snow/ice that we have outside this morning! :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite places to visit. There is a big one in Ames ,IA and one in Omaha to enjoy also.
ReplyDeleteTo get a good moon shot try early morning when the sun is out before it sets.
Beautiful Butterflies! Looks like you and the grands had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteAre you ready for a heat wave in the Hills later this week? We are ready for nicer temps. All these below zero *high* temps are hard on equipment. I will admit -10 can feel ok on a sunny day with no wind. Looking forward to 20*.
Thanks for the warm thoughts and this look at warmer conditions in the butterfly house. They are so beautiful. It's cold here -- a low of 12F the last couple of days -- which is very unusual for here. At least we haven't had any snow.
ReplyDeleteByłam w podobnym domu motyli i żal mi było z niego wychodzić, bo było cudownie. Były motyle, które pokazujesz u siebie. Pozdrawiam i dziękuję za tą przyjemność.
ReplyDeleteI was in a similar home butterflies and felt sorry to leave it, because it was wonderful. There were butterflies that you show at home. I greet and thank you for the pleasure.
Simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing your fun visit.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your "warm butterfly thoughts." I didn't even know Sioux Falls had a butterfly house. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThose butterflies are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! We took our grandson to the Butterfly House in Seattle and watched with awe as one hatched from a cocoon! Thank you for sharing this adventure, XOXO
