| If you are ever traveling near Toledo, Ohio take the time to check out this wonderful butterfly conservatory. You will find yourself absolutely surrounded by the most beautiful tropical species of butterflies inside a tranquil glasshouse full of lush plants, lovely flowers and several relaxing water features. We could barely pull ourselves away from this serene indoor garden. And for all of you photographers out there, the butterflies are easy to reach and shoot, as a matter of fact, they keep landing all over you! Fruit trays and sugar-water feeders supplement the nectar-producing flowers so everyone can closely observe the feeding habits of these magical creatures. The children are mesmerized by the sheer number of butterflies that seem to seek you out to land on a hand, sleeve or hat. It makes you feel honored somehow....like they think you are special and trustworthy. It's just cool. |
