rfmcdonaldWhile visiting New Glasgow and the grounds of the P.E.I. Preserve Company with my parents Monday, we came across the Company's Gardens of Hope and Butterfly House. The gardens are a peaceful setting for a hospice for the terminally ill and their caregivers, and the Butterfly Gardens--reopened in 2012 after a 2009 spider infestation--house butterflies of Costa Rican origin, the display of which helps finance the hospice. My mother (appearing in the fourth photo below, in iridescent green) and I paid the $C7 adult admission fee and entered.
They were beautiful. These fast-moving creatures were difficult to photograph, but I was able to take a few when they alighted somewhere, on a flower or an orange slice or a finger.
