Butterflies, Orchids, and Frogs, O MY!!!

November 14, 2013 — butterflies, frogs, Tucson Botanical Gardens

Each year Tucson Botanical Gardens opens a special tropical exhibit of butterflies. The greenhouse is maintained all year, but in the summer it is too costly to keep at temperature, so they take a break. I love to spend time in the butterfly magic display and do so very frequently. I am pretty excited to announce that they now have tiny tree frogs joining the butterflies. The frogs hide a bit from the crowd because they are nocturnal. I managed to see three and get some shots. Since it was Veterans Day lots of kids were in the house.  I also met a woman who has taken a course at the gardens in pocket sketching.  She had a tiny set of water colors and was popping out some tiny great art.  This is my favorite entertainment in town.  Members can go as often as we like, so I am a frequent butterflyer.
