Butterfly Kisses

This morning we traveled down to the Cockrell Butterfly Center at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. It was a sight -- 100's of butterflies flying around, hovering over flowers, and sipping fruit juice. Inside the glass structure, we were taken aback by the humidity; it was a tropical rain forest setting.

A few pics on the different species we examined. There was a particular type of butterfly that utterly enjoyed R. I wondered whether they were attracted to the brightness of her dress. The kids weren't still long enough to have one land on them, but they enjoyed watching them flutter by.
