bins and pots and baskets of
Beautiful Spring Flowers
my daughter Sue, mother in law "GG" Linda,
great granddaughter Oakland and "GG" me
took of for the gardens during one of our
"spitty" snowy "sprinwinter" weather days, this past week during
Spring Break Mania
two great grand oldies
one granny and one, almost two year old
we joined many hundreds of
mothers, dads, grandparents, children and babies
and forty five hundred strollers, backs packs and diaper bags
and oh yes . . . one furry bear
we were all there to witness the beautiful
difficult to catch them in flight but here are my pics
if you see small bits of color, (blue especially) here and there, no doubt it is a butterfly
check out the link above to see and read more
this was all a bit overwhelming for our two year old
but she was a trooper
I think she will enjoy this more in a year or two

the butterfly garden is just one feature of this gorgeous venue
the outdoor gardens and art exhibits are exceptional

Hello Lynne, even with the crowds it looks like a fun visit to the butterfly garden. Pretty butterflies and lovely captures. Oakland is adorable, I like her cute bear too. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
Lovely nature shots, Lynne ~ love the butterflies and the loving family enjoying time together ~ you are blessed.
Happy Weekend to you ~ ^_^
My favourite kind of outing Lynne!
Family, grandies and gardens!
I tried to bring butterflies into my garden this year, there were a few but I obviously need a greater selection of
butterfly plants. I've got a list for next Spring... downunder!

I can tell you didn't shoot these fabulous photos last night or this morning! Not enough white!
I much prefer the beautiful colors here -- and all the love in those faces!
Which are the critters?? The kids or the butterflies?? Did you get snow too??
Both the kids and the butterflies were gorgeous
What a fun place! So much beauty. I bet the little one was tuckered.
How pretty and I bet the children loved the butterflys landing on then. What a lovely day out. XXXX
Love the butterflies and those sweet children :)
beautiful colors. :)
How beautiful!! What a lovely experience for the children AND the adults.
The butterfly area is sometimes overwhelming for this 47 year old. At least the butterflies are inside.
Well, if this trip doesn't inspire one to garden, then nothing will. Oakland is getting so big!
