Tropical Butterflies


Last Sunday me and my mum decided to visit the botanic gardens in our town. I haven't been there in so long but it's always really nice and I was craving some warmer temperatures after coming back home from the sunny Thailand.
And also do they currently have an exhibition for (alive) tropical butterflies going on.
Butterflies are such fragile creatures. It's so interesting watching them fly from flower to flower. In summer we have two huge lilac trees in our garden which always attract tons of butterflies. Really missing this right now so the exhibition was just about the perfect thing for a cold, drizzly Sunday morning.
All the butterflies were extremely colourful and some of them pretty gigantic. They came from all over the world and usually live up to one or two weeks. The number of butterflies inside the greenhouse was very impressive. It's definitely a nice environment. Lots of plants, flowers, a little bit of water and even fruit stations where the butterflies can stuff themselves. Yumm!
One butterfly even landed on my shoulder and while my mum was taking a picture two more found it pretty comfortable on her!
But see the beauties yourself:

Cafe-Days..

I love Cafe-Days! They're one of the most relaxing things to do!
You're probably wondering what I mean with 'Cafe-Day'. 
Well, it's literally just You spending at least half of the day at your favourite cafe.
And that's not boring at all as every cafe-day can be different to another.



I like to start my cafe-day with a nice cappuccino and do whatever I planned on doing. Then around 3 to 4pm my tummy alerts me and I grant myself a nice afternoon meal from the menu.


Cafe-Days are especially nice for catching up with friends you haven't seen in a while. Or maybe you have seen them yesterday but there's a lot to talk about 
And what could be a better place for that than a cafe where you can get coffee and food!?

But also for studying and getting things done cafes seem like the perfect surrounding. For me it's just a lot easier to stay concentrated when I'm not at home.

Other things you can do are writing or drawing and doodling. It's perfect to plan things or journeys you want to do in the future or maybe you just want to watch people. In that case you should find a window place. ;)
