The Butterfly is a universal symbol of change, resurrection, transformation, and celebration. Native American legend says that if you whisper a wish to a butterfly, it will fly up to Heaven and make it come true.
I don’t know about any of that, but they sure are magical.
All photos were taken this past Monday, on a wonderful little daytrip with my girl to the Butterfly Conservatory just outside of Toronto. If you’ve never been to a place like this, I highly recommend you go if you ever have the opportunity.
It was like walking into a fairytale.

Thanks Gail! What a place this was! Magical.
Amazing, photos! I love that orange butterfly just about to take off from its leaf. So perfectly beautiful!
Aren’t they just the prettiest creatures?
All I have to say is “Wow”.
