Sunday Preschooler Extra: Butterflies!
by Tom Bozzo
The kids did get into some butterfly-related program activities, though we thought it was pretty odd that this board makes it look like the Very Hungry Caterpillar is after Julia.
A few more pictures after the jump, or head on over to Flickr for even more.
Two sides of a Peruvian butterfly, still iridescent after 81 years:
Ready for takeoff:
Zebra stripes:
On the Great Ice Cream Hunt (collect stamps in the outdoor gardens, get a cone of Michael's Frozen Custard):
Sylvia Beckman's bronze "Spring," now surrounded by peak summer vegetation:
The "look only with your eyes" message didn't quite stick (monster at the bridge to the Thai Garden):
Butterfly bush, minus the butterflies:
Post-butterfly treat — less of this was worn than you might think:

Regarding the Blooming Butterflies extravaganza at local treasure Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Madison Guy says, "Be sure to bring a camera. You can't miss." It's true!
