Barns of Deerfield…

Carrie and I spotted a couple of cool barns on our trip out to Deerfield, Massachusetts last week.  I’m going to do a quickie here and post some pics.  Then I have to go to bed.

 

Sleep well all!

Reality hits…

I so enjoyed the trip Carrie and I took to the Magic Wings place in South Deerfield, Massachusetts.  A lot of the pictures I got made it look like I was in the jungles of South America or Africa hunting down butterflies in the wild.  Well, the truth is (DUH!) that Magic Wings consists of two large rooms filled with plants that make butterflies happy.  So they make it is easy for you to make believe that you were on a butterfly safari when you get those photos home.

 

Of course, not all the butterflies are cooperative when it comes to feeding this fantasy.  Some of them refuse to land on the green plants but have to stop on walls or benches or even on the floor of the place.  Please watch where you are walking if you ever go there.

 

All the shots I am posting today are of uncooperative butterflies.

Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life.  And everyone deserves a little sunshine.  ~Jeffrey Glassberg

I couldn’t put it better myself.  While I know very little about butterflies, I always like seeing one.  They definitely light up the world.

Well, after a few false starts, my daughter Carrie and I finally got the chance to go to Magic Wings, a butterfly conservatory in South Deerfield, Massachusetts.  And we had a delightful time.

I got so many photos I don’t even know where to begin so I guess I will just post a few and go from there.

 

Like I said, I know very little about butterflies so I don’t know any details about what kind these are.  And they weren’t flying around with tags on them or anything.  If there’s someone out there who knows and wants to let me know, I would appreciate it.  Meanwhile, I will just enjoy the fact that they are beautiful, graceful, varied, enchanting and approachable.  Hope you like them, too.
