Tim and a friend

Since the weather was cold and rainy today, we decided to hit a few of the Smithsonian museums. We couldn’t resist going back to the Butterfly Pavilion at the Museum of Natural History. I didn’t get that many shots, although was surrounded by beautiful butterflies, but I did manage to get this one of Tim with a visitor on his head. The butterfly must have stayed there for about five minutes; Tim said after seeing this that the butterfly was smaller than he thought because he could feel its feet on his scalp (if butterflies have feet ;-)).

This is better then a butterfly plant in the garden. You should keep Tim close to you.
