We took my Lady's younglings to the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The girl R, 6 at the time, was all excited and wore brightly patterned clothing to attract the butterflies. Turns out that R was totally freaked, almost hysterical with fear and upset because beautiful butterflies have these creepy, large insect bodies to power those colourful wings. Having large flexible insects landing all over her and walking on her skin was totally not cool.
Too bad because it is a real neat thing to be in a place like that, seeing all the butterflies and enjoying the habitat.
When we were leaving I saw this exquisitely beautiful young East Indian girl wearing gorgeous, brilliant silks, jewels in her hair and on her arms and legs, glitter make-up on eyes and lips . . . she was absolutely stunning . . . heading in to the butterfly area with her family. I so wanted to follow her and take photos of all the butterflies attracted to this young lady, but it was time to get R out of there.
