Today Kourtney and I went to Magic Wings in South Deerfield, Mass http://www.magicwings.com/ It was really amazing! We had heard about it before, but never made it out there. It's about an hour from home. You walk in to a beautiful exotic terrarium filled with hundreds of different plants, trees, vines, and flowers from all parts of the globe, made to
replicate the roughly 4,000 butterflies that live there from many different countries, including Africa and Australia. The air is humid and warm and sweet smelling from all of the different flowers enveloping the garden. The air was also filled with relaxing, botanical music that made the walk through the gardens even more enjoyable. It was very serene and peaceful. There were these big blue iridescent butterflies that would just not sit still. They were the most beautiful by far, and it was like they knew it. They just fluttered around as if they had somewhere to be, but then would pass right by again moments later, not even a bit lost. If you are patient enough, you can sit quiet and still on a near by bench, hoping for one to take a rest on your head, or arm. We tried for about ten minutes but they were all so busy chasing each other, stopping to sip from the different nectar bowls. It was like an indoor butterfly playground. It was so beautiful, if only all of Earth looked this way! :)
