Introducing Butterflies

Today Scott had to work today so Ryan and I decided to go out and have some fun. We went to the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens so I could introduce Ryan to butterflies. The butterfly exhibit was great. When we got there, Ryan went in and didn't know what we were looking at at first. Then a couple of beautiful blue and somewhat large butterflies flew right in front of him and the chase was on. He followed different butterflies throughout the exhibition.

At the end of the exhibition we saw a very large moth. This moth was approximately two hands wide and was spectacular. It is hard to imagine the size of this moth. Just to give you an idea the tree it is on was about 12" in diameter. It was such a magnificent creature.

After chasing the butterflies Ryan wanted to go outside and look at the flowers. Unfortunately he couldn't keep still long enough for me to take a decent picture. This just means we will have to go back again sometime. We both like it there so I'm sure we'll make it back again soon.
