| Butterfly station at White River State Park in Indianapolis. |
At White River state Park in Indianapolis there is an interactive butterfly display. Many many beautiful specimens are housed there in various stages of their life cycle and it is a lovely space.

You too can have a place for specimens traveling to refresh themselves by using a plate and marbles. It happens that during an earthquake here a few years ago an antique decorative plate from my Mother-in-law was knocked from the wall above the fireplace and chipped. I still didn't want to part with it and so I have kept it. Today It became a garden ornament as well as a respite for the butterflies. Tomorrow I will be looking for other shabby chic dishes for other parts of the garden and yard!

You can make one too by placing clean glass marbles in a shallow glass plate or dish and placing a bit of fresh water into the plate no higher than just below the tops of the marbles. The object is to provide a place for them to lite and refresh themselves. I am going to enjoy this addition to our landscape. I may have to look for some more really colorful plates and marbles!
There is a lot to enjoy at the White River State Park and here is the link should you want to know more about this wonderful attraction.
