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

[Ronnie B. Peters]

You have been invited to view Bill's photos!Ditto re: the beautiful photos of butterflies and flowers.  We in the Washington D.C. suburb annually have a butterfly house open to the public at Brookside Gardens, where adults and young children can walk among these fascinating creatures as they fly about in a large glass solarium.  As a recently retired library/media specialist, I remember a wonderful picture book, The Butterfly House by Eve Bunting, about a little girl who saves a tiny caterpillar from being eaten by a hungry blue jay.  Her grandfather then helps her make a butterfly house to keep it safe.  In due time, of course, the caterpillar transforms into a beautiful butterfly and is set free.  Maybe not the most exciting 'read,' but a sweet little story and the illustrations are lovely.

And--all of this is connected to travel, how???  Well--perhaps said butterfly flew/traveled far away to Austria, Germany, Italy or Switzerland to see the world and sample the nectar of flowers in a foreign land..  Perhaps not so impossible, you know--balloons and messages in bottles have been known to make it across vast land masses and large bodies of water.
