Robert's Ramblings

Of all the places to find a Monarch Butterfly chrysalis I never expected it to be in my parent's kitchen.

My father used to be a keen butterfly collector and collected butterflies from all over the world. Sadly his collection was lost but his love and fascination have always remained. On learning of his old passion, my father's friend Michael brought him this beautiful Monarch chrysalis he found in his own garden.

It now sits in the kitchen window while my father waits for his beautiful Monarch Butterfly to emerge.
