Butterfly release : children

Monday, January 29th, 2007

Children are so gentle where butterflies are concerned.

These children were spending their last day in New Zealand before returning to The Netherlands with their parents. I took two of my Monarchs for them to release, and we found a sheltered garden to do so, near Kerikeri airport.

They were really moved – parents and children too. The Dutch word for butterfly (butterflies?) is “vlinders” and I heard the word mentioned often as they asked their Mum and Dad questions.
