Feasting and Drinking Butterflies




On Monday after Phillip and I checked out of the Mill House B&B we walked across the street to visit the Housley House Bed & Breakfast. Several people told us how nice it was and they gave free tours every day to anybody who walks in. It was very impressive also and the owners were so friendly. http://www.thehousleyhouse.com/

Don and Teresa told us as we were leaving of places of interest nearby. So after finding the mule drawn boat ride closed we went to the Butterfly House in Whitehouse, Ohio. They have over 500 species of butterflies that are awesome to behold! The butterflies devoured bananas and drank from sponges. There was also a small pond in the back yard with a few big goldfish and a couple baby ones. There is also a waterfall and music playing by the pond with a stone bench to sit and relax. In the nearby flower garden there is an iron bench shaped as a butterfly. What a delightful weekend

Watch your step
Unusual markings
So close I could have picked it up ~ it never moved
Hide N Seek



Butterfly Rules
Mating Butterflies ~ The employee who was in the room said this is an unusual moment to capture on film. This was the first time even she had seen this here in the room.
The butterflies would land anyplace ~ on your back, on your clothes, or on the floor (so watch your step)
This butterfly was injured but still able to fly away
What an amazing day I spent enjoying some of God's small but beautiful creations flying so near me.

I enjoyed the new pics. Sounds like a nice place to enjoy some romantic moments, away from the hustle & bustle of your everyday life. Glad you two could get away and enjoy a special anniversary.
