Living near Washington, DC., I am lucky enough to have so many places to visit and fun things to do. This past weekend the family went to Brookside Gardens, during their annual Butterfly Exhibit, Wings of Fancy. While inside an enclosed greenhouse, the butterflies are free to dart and land as they like. We must be careful where we walk as to not step on them!

Abby, one of my 9-year-olds, decided she would wear a green shirt and brown shorts to look like a tree. Seems absurd, but it must have worked. The hand you’ll see in some of the pictures are hers, where they landed on their own (we aren’t allowed to reach or handle the butterflies). The pictures themselves aren’t of high quality, since they were taken with my Blackberry, but they were lovely enough to share! Which butterfly or photo is your favorite? I list mine below…
