Fluttering Moments

Kevin is pretty tired and achy today but he wanted to get out for a little while. We drove into Eden Park to visit Krohn Conservatory. The butterfly show is in progress there. It was fun to watch hundreds of butterflies flitting about and more fun to watch the people reacting to them. We got a kick out of one little girl who walked around nearly an hour with one butterfly perched on the front of her dress.

Didn't take long for the butterflies to wear Kevin out so we headed home.

Drove through the hills and valleys around Fort Ancient on our way and got a couple of pictures. Notice the road way below in the valley and the road sign indicating the switchback curve ahead of us.

The other shot is a little roadside antique place. Kevin doesn't have much patience with antiques and old things--he calls this the "junk shop" and thinks it's a bit of an eyesore. On spring and fall weekends it is crowded with a steady trickle of Cincinnati suburbanites crawling out to the countryside and shelling out their hard earned dollars for a bit of authentic country junk.

I think the junk shop owner is a genius.
