    That must have been fun! There's a butterfly house by us as well that I would really like to visit.

    Glad you had a good time.

    My goodness that building is large! We have a 'butterfly zoo' near by. I've been once, it is very small, maximum of 25 people inside at a time. Even at that we are stepping on each other, lol. I can't imagine having such an large spot to view butterflies. Yes, butterflies seem to have little fear of humans, so it is easy to capture their photos. I love the flowers as well, especially the one with the water drop almost off!

    Now it seems like there should be a 'story' about that HORSE!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks guys!

    Here's the website: http://www.meijergardens.org/index.php

    The Gardens are in Grand Rapids and like Sparklecoon said, the horse is Leonardo DaVinchi's Horse. It's SOOO much prettier in the summer, or when the flowers are in bloom, but the butterfly house only goes from March to April, so we had to get there to see them. I would definitely recommend if anybody is taking a trip to Michigan, they should see the gardens..

    I love the pics Ashley! I would love to go visit that place. There is a small butterfly exhibit in Columbus and I love to go visit there. I dont think it is anything like what you've shown though. Looks like you guys had a good day.

    Gorgeous photos! I didn't realize the butterfly house was open for such a short period of time. Andy and I'll have to make a trip.
