Today, my sister and I took a ‘tropical vacation’ to Magic Wings Conservatory, a butterfly facility in South Deerfield MA. For a blissful two hours, we viewed colorful Lepidoptera and flowers, and sat on a bench drinking in the warm, humidly tropical conditions. It was a wonderful escape from the frigid temperatures and snowy conditions we have been experiencing lately. Join me in viewing a slideshow of some the beauties we saw (12 photos).

I love butterfly sanctuaries – so special. We went to one in far north Queensland. How do they maintain it during your cold winters? 🦋
Oh how fabulous, Eliza. Great photos! A perfect respite from the snow. We go to one in LA in the spring and it is so fun when they land on you. I love when they do a butterfly check looking for hitchhikers before you leave.🙂
I love butterflies too! 🦋 looks like a wonderful day Eliza 🧡 🦋
Oh My 🙂
This sounds like a wonderful – and wonderous – place to visit in good company during your icy weather. The butterflies are both interesting and beautiful!
What beauties to behold. I can well imagine it’s a lovely place to spend a few hours in that frigit coldk, ice and snow.
These are lovely 😍
I love visiting butterfly gardens.
Oh how I adore butterflies, they are one of life’s beautiful creatures, so fleeting and seemingly so fragile but stronger than you might think. What a wonderful thing to do in winter and thank you for sharing. You’ve lifted the spirits ,which needed a boost as we have had burst of torrential and persistent rain and as we are back on Olivia it’s not helpful for walking or cycling for provisions. And they’ve turned the water supply off in marina facilities due to a leak. And we’ve both got a crippling coughing bug.
And this is turning into a right old moan! Far too much information ha. But sun due tomorrow. And when I am well enough for writing the next blog it will be an interesting one I think. All about water and how we take it for granted. But not just yet.
Stay well and warm!!

What a fabulous way to escape the cold! Beautiful butterflies, and isn’t that leaf one simply amazing? I thought you may be pulling our legs, but then I saw his own little legs poking out beneath him. 😆 I am in awe!
Such amazing colours
Wow wowwww and absolutely wowwwww. So gorgeous. Thanks for sharing Eliza!!!
Oh, what a nice adventure. I quickly looked up distance from here, but it is a five hour round trip drive or I’d be checking it out. 🙂
