    We went to see our son march in the Iowa State University marching band Saturday, and decided to spend the afternoon at Reiman Gardens at ISU. One of their main attractions is the butterfly house. I have not researched the names of each butterfly yet, but they're all beautiful.

    Is the second picture a Blue Morpho like Joann showed us a picture of? It is stunning.

    They are really beautiful,I think could look at pictures of butterflies all day, we used to have a butterfly house about 50 miles from us. I wonder if it is still there.

    Oh, oh, they're beautiful! :D Just what one needs with breakfast and a coffee. I think I like the third from the bottom best.

    Oh boy what astoundingly beautiful butterflies!! I love the first one and the black, red and white one but they are all stunning. I could sit and watch butterflies for hours and never tire of them.

    I am afraid I cannot pick a favorite, they are all amazing. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
