Saturday Critters ~ 197 ~

On our first day in Canada, one of the first places we visited was
The Butterfly Conservatory
Over 2,000 butterflies, 45 different species call this tropical paradise home.
Let me share with you a "few" of the images I took.


The next four images are of the of the lush garden itself...





Next are the butterflies, I took over 100 pictures.
This may seem like a lot of pictures but these were my favorites and what I thought were the best.

Oh my gosh! I would love to get lost in the garden for an extended amount of time! You have outdone yourself with these photos. I felt like I was looking at a coffee table book. It should be. Such a beautiful assortment of beautiful butterflies!

I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to my country. The Butterfly Garden looks like a place I would love to spend time in.If I lived closer I would go there but it's still a two-three day drive my home.

Oh my gosh Debbie, these are such lovely photos. I really enjoyed the spectacular butterfly photos. I imagine that this was a wonderful place to visit. I still think you could publish a book of birds, butterflies, animals, and wonderous scenery. Blessings and hugs!
