The Butterflies Are Blooming exhibition will be winding down pretty soon, so if you want to see it, this would be the time to act. The event is over on April 30th. The butterflies are at their best on sunny days, they go crazy and are everywhere.

I appreciate having the Frederik Meijer Gardens here in West Michigan. We’re lucky to have so many philanthropists who care about making their hometown special. It’s not unusual to see Fred Meijer at the gardens he and his wife Lena so generously gave to this community. And the gardens continue to grow and give. Each year I’m amazed at the new exhibits and changes that make them even better.

Popular coming attractions are the Michigan All-State Bonsai Show May 16 – 17 and the Jonathan Borofsky exhibition, now underway through May 10.

So today I’m just sitting outside minding my own business and this most incredible butterfly flutters on by. I wound up chasing it all over the place trying to get a perfect picture of it. Anyone know what kind of butterfly this is?

By the way, I’ll be showing you another of my Blandford shots soon. Tomorrow night I’ll be at Art Attack in Lowell thanks to my friend Sue. Maybe I’ll get some good pictures there too… I’m bringing my camera!
