Hello ladies,
This week my friend Drew and I decided to explore the
Butterflies! exhibit at
The Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. It was such a respite from city life to interact with live butterflies in a tropical habitat!
 |
| A Clipper butterfly at rest on the foliage. |
 |
| Sipping nectar. |
 |
| Looks like he is wearing a single striped sock. |
 |
| A fine day to you too! |
 |
| A popular drinking spot. |
 |
| So lovely, like a delicate fan. |
 |
| Pardon me, but I could use a lift. |
 |
| Quite a fanciful hitchhiker! |
 |
| The owl butterfly. |
 |
| This butterfly did not abandon his post. |
 |
| My new friend, and lace enthusiast, the owl butterfly. |
We were so amazed how sociable the owl butterfly was! Drew held the parasol* for me as the owl butterfly modeled. Our new companion remained in position even as I opened my sun umbrella and set it on the floor!
I hope you enjoyed sharing the delights of the day!
Happy painting, ladies!
*It is important to note when Drew was holding the battenburg lace parasol, we referred to it as the
Power-sol to make the experience more manly. I am sure you can sense the omnipresent testosterone exuding from this post. Grrr!
