[Idyllchat] Re: Butterfly Release at The Karen Nash Memorial Butterfly Garden.

[Bill K......r]

You have been invited to view Bill's photos!Elaine:
  The Garden is in memory of Mrs. Karen Nash, a speech therapist at the school who helped children learn how to speak and communicate with others.  Karen Nash died of cancer at the age of 40.  She wrote a story called "Caterpillar Dreams", about a caterpillar who lived in a flower garden and struggled for survival.  The caterpillar pushed out her fears as she learned how to be brave.  She became a beautiful butterfly.  Now she could fly away and protect herself from danger.  She spent the rest of her days exploring and discovering, and was no longer imprisoned by fears.  She lived on through generations of caterpillars and butterflies that followed her, and through the beautiful gardens that she had helped pollinate.  The children of Washington Boro and volunteers created a quarter-acre Butterfly Garden in her memory.  It is a Children's Garden of Learning and a place that tells a story about the people present and past through engraved bricks and plaques.

  I used a Nikon 8700 Digital Camera.  I'm glad you enjoyed the photos.

  Bill

    The pictures are gorgeous, as always, Bill.  We have a butterfly garden here at the Beebe School dedicated to one of the teachers who died.  Our garden is not as lovely as that but we try and the second graders get very excited when they release the butterflies.  That will be next week.  
    A question: what kind of camera did you use?
