Colorful tropical butterflies at the Butterfly Pavillion

Over the week-end I took advantage of stay in the Denver area to go for the first time to the Butterfly Pavilion
. What a fantastic place! Over a thousand tropical and some Colorado butterflies flying free in a tropical conservatory makes it a nature-lovers paradise.

Twice a day they have a public release of recently emerged from their cocoons. A number of these 'new' butterflies landed on people including me (right on my face for a few seconds)--a really neat experience. And this non-profit organization does a lot of great conservation education. SeEtta
