One of our favorite places to visit, is the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. Lizzy just loves the butterflies, and even though we've been there tons of time, it's still a magical place for her. When we had a free day last week, Lizzy suggested we go again, so we gave it a try. She even wore her bright, butterfly shirt, because she thought all the butterflies would like it so much. The butterflies did not disappoint. This Owl Butterfly (above) was hanging around, just waiting for us to come by! How amazing to get to examine the delicacy and beauty of a butterfly from inches away! This little guy just sat there as we stared, and oohed and aahhed, and drank in all his wonder. Then, as if on cue, he flew away the moment we moved on. Lizzy kept saying, "Wow! Aren't we lucky! This is the best day!" I couldn't have said it better myself.
I LOVE Lizzy's butterfly T-shirt! So very cute...and yes, I love the butterflies at Steinhart. And doesn't Lizzy have a way of distilling it right down to the essential truth: "This is the best day!"
ReplyDeleteGoethe couldn't have said it better -- "There is nothing worth more than this day." Rock on Lizzy!
