Butterfly Rainforest




















Not really outfit pictures, but one of the most beautiful places we (Papaw, Catherine, and I) visited while in Florida was the Butterfly Rainforest at the Florida Museum of Natural History. I could have sat there for hours (actually, I think I did!). It must have been at least 100 degrees in there because it was much hotter than the 90-something temperature outside. There were so many butterflies though! I've been in other butterfly rainforests and I've just never seen one so populated with butterflies--it was an almost ethereal experience. I could almost imagine living in a place like that (minus all the other people, of course!).

Aside from the beautiful butterfly exhibit, the rest of the museum was actually very nice. I absolutely love natural history museums and this one was very cool and had some great exhibits. There were some fossils of the mouths of ancient sharks that, when open, were taller than me! Definitely a fun day.

  1. I love butterfly houses - whenever I learn of one being within reasonable distance I have to go! So pretty and you're right that it just feels like something out of this world inside...
