I heard that the Butterflies are blooming at Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids.

It is a MUST place to visit!

While you are there check out the sculpture gardens and so forth!

Kiwi:

I recently gave Sue two "new" Canon lenses for her Canon AE-1 camera: a 35mm F/2.0 and a 100mm F/4.0 Macro. We have both been to this wonderful exhibition before and have thought of going this weekend, especially to explore her "new" macro lens. We're both tired of the winter weather and hope that Mother Nature will finally allow spring to bloom and will not permit any heavy snowfall this weekend. Well, we can hope, can't we!!!

Since you didn't provide a "link" to those who may wish to know more about this exhibit, which runs from the 1st of March to near the end of April, here's the link to the Butterflies in Bloom exhibit at the Meijer Gardens.

For those of you who may be interested, there is another and more permanent butterfly exhibit, etc. going on, but it is located in St. Louis, MO. Sue and I have enjoyed it's beauty, sculptures, gift shop, and, of course, the butterflies as well. Enjoy exploring both sites on the web.

This is the link to The ButterFly House, which is, I belive a part of the wonderfully beautiful Missouri Botanical Gardens.

If you're interested in Butterflies and are traveling to or near either one of these sites, stop in and enjoy!!
