From A Pupate To A Butterfly

There is a small butterfly park not far from our house. My wife and I walk our dog and pass it almost everyday. There are beautiful flowers and lush green. Just a few years ago, It was a dusty open space between a residential area and a military facility. No one seemed to care or to take responsibility to this small piece of land. Probably It was too small to build anything on it.

A local retired man took matters into his own hand, started to clean the weeds and plant flowers. a few years later, it came an beautiful park, a certified butterfly garden by North American Butterfly Association. It attracts hundreds of butterflies, even our backyard become butterflies frequent visit
