camping.

Hi...Okay so even though it's been well over a week, I still wanted to share a few pictures with you from our camping trip to Trillium Lake.

Okay so I had probably one of the most coolest experiences that I will ever have in my life. There were swarms and swarms of butterflies EVERYWHERE at Mt. Hood. Down by the lake, along the paths, in our campsite, everywhere! It was so magical to be walking and to see these sweet butterflies fluttering across your view and so close that you could hear their wings. They were California Tortoiseshell butterflies and they were wonderful!

All those little black dots on the sand are butterflies! So amazing!

And then a self-portrait of a mommy (me!) and her beautiful girlie (Miranda!)

Take care and hope some sweetness finds you today.

Just as I was checking in to your blog, the pictures of Lake Trillium, butterflies, etc., appeared before my very eyes. You must have just posted them and I was the first to see. Beautiful beyond words. What were those California butterflies doing up in Oregon? Well, they must be very smart to find you up in Oregon. Doubt if they will want to return south.

Beautiful Flutterbies and women :)

When I lived in Windsor (across from Detroit) we would go to Point Pelee Provincial Park during Monarch butterfly migration. There would be hundreds of them on a bush so that the bush would look like it had orange leaves! Butterflies are so magical.

Awww, sweet photo of you and your lovely daughter! We had the same butterflies on the Metolius river---haven't yet looked up what kind---now I don't have to! Thanks! I tried to get a digital photo of a group by the river, but they're just black blobs... slow camera! Not nearly as many as Mt. Hood area had tho! What fun :)

What beautiful pictures, Michelle. I hear Oregon is beautiful, but I've never been there. My hubby has and he says we should definitely go. I do think butterflies are magical. How cool to experience so many at one time!

This was definitely a magical moment for those golden butterflies to come and see a beautiful Mother and Daughter.
