Something different today. We visited the Butterfly Pavilion yesterday with our Denver grandkids. The Pavilion houses one of the largest collections of tropical butterflies in the US, free flying in a simulated rainforest enclosure, as well as displays of tropical fish and coral, and tropical insects. They also have extensive outside gardens with water features, and a large inside play area for kids. To be honest, many of the butterflies look a bit cage-worn, and I would always prefer to see them in the wild, but it is an experience for sure. The pale red-tailed hawk was perched over the entrance. I rarely take selfies (for obvious reasons), but the girls wanted me to record the two butterflies who found my hat an interesting resting place.
