Exquisite beauty ...

Today was the first day I ventured outside of the house since Sunday ... I've been down with a nasty head cold! But the sun was shining today, and April was one week away from being ripped from my calendar ~ and that meant there were only a few more days left to see the Foremost's Butterflies are Blooming exhibit over at Frederik Meijer Gardens! I had a wonderful three hours there and took tons of photos too. I wanted to show you just a few tonight, just so that you could share my joy in seeing these delightful little creatures God so amazingly designed.

Aren't they something?! I have always admired people who could paint a great landscape or sketch the exact likeness of a person, or do a fabulous architectural rendering ... but I actually KNOW the Person who created all of this! Wow. :)
