A Butterfly Encounter
On Monday, Amy and I decided to visit the Butterfly exhibit at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens. It comes every year, but I always seem to miss it. Not this year! We spent nearly two hours wandering the paths in the extremely hot and humid enclosure with a rather large Spring Break crowd. But in spite of the fact that we were sweating like crazy and being overrun with other people, we had a fabulous time and got some great photos of the butterflies.

Of course the butterflies were amazing, but there were also some rather unique plants in this rainforestesque environment. Here are just a few.

I would highly recommend, if you get a chance, to go visit the Butterflies - it is certainly worth every penny (especially if you stay as long as we did!).
