Welcome to my blog! My name is Esther and I'm so happy you are here. I'm an avid nature photographer and a daydreaming thinker. My posts revolve around photos of nature's beauty, homeschooling adventures with my 2 kids, sporadic reflections on my child's heart condition, Bible reading reflections, gardening feats, and other mish mash things. Hopefully you'll leave encouraged, pensive, or smiling at the simple things of life. Thank you for stopping by and hope you'll find some interesting posts to read!

Those butterflies are gorgeous. I’ve never seen anything like them — different places, different species. The purple flower — porterweed — is familiar. Lots of people use it in butterfly gardens here.

Thank you Linda! These butterflies are at the California Academy Science museum in the rainforest section. Butterflies just roam around there, although for humans it gets a bit hot and humid.
Good to know that the purple flower is called porterweed. Nice.

The porterweed comes in coral, too — and maybe other colors.

This rainforest has an amazing assortment of butterflies! It was mostly peaceful except for the loud piercing squawking from 2 blue parrots.

The butterflies are beautiful – I know they like nectar but didn’t know they liked to sip orange juice too. 🙂

They like sweetness. When we raised butterflies, we put strawberry slices and blueberries for them to eat. Last time the orange slice was kind of old and yucky, but this time it was fresh and pretty. What a difference it makes for taking pictures.

I never knew that Esther. I thought I was making them happy with a puddling dish (sand and filled it with water so they had wet sand to sit and drink from).
