I don’t know what it is, but butterflies have a thing for me. Once, in Houston, Mr. Donut and I went to the Cockrell Butterfly Center at the Museum of Natural History. It’s a “…living exhibit that showcases hundreds of live butterflies in a naturalistic rainforest setting.” While sitting on a bench, a beautiful blue butterfly landed on my foot and, since you aren’t suppose to touch them, I let him rest there for a few minutes before trying to shake him off. He wouldn’t budge. No amount of shaking could encourage him to fly away. Finally after about 10 minutes I very lightly touched his feet and off he went.
Then, on a trip to the Summer Palace in Beijing last summer, one landed on my face - right between my eyes, long enough to take a picture before flying away.
So I was really very excited to see this the new issue of BLUEPRINT…
That is amazing! I actually have a think with butterflies and my grandmother who passed away almost 5 years ago.
It would be a wonderful thing to integrate into your wedding — there is a lot you can do without going overboard. Butterfly shaped seed paper (http://tinyurl.com/2lee3v), maybe even a butterfly release after you “I do’s.” The best and safest company I found was Swallow Tail Farms - http://tinyurl.com/32ooo8.
