On our short drive to my sister’s new house near Hershey, AJ asked if Pennsylvania is where pencils are made. It has been a fun, entertaining, and incredibly hot few days here in PA. Spending hours at a time in a car together and having multiple people sharing a bedroom is a never ending supply for entertaining stories.
On Wednesday, temperature mid-90s with high humidity, we set out for a morning stroll through the Hershey Gardens. Despite the heat, we were able to enjoy ourselves, especially during our walk through the Butterfly House. Botanical gardens are a photographer’s paradise. Since I’m away from my normal computer and my regular editing program, I will leave you with just one of my favorite shots:
Now it’s your turn. What did you do this week? For those of you who haven’t played along before, Give Me Your Best Shot is not a contest, and it’s for any level of photographer.

Um, Amy, I hate to break it to you….but that’s a butterfly, not a cow.

Beautiful picture, I’m currently in Iraq so I’ve been doing the same thing all week, work from sun up to sun down. I miss flowers and colors and you’re picture is beautiful and refreshing.
I love that shot. You take the best pictures of the simplest things! I love it. I agree with AJ having never been to Pencilvania (hehe) myself I figured that is where they make pencils too! What a little comedian!

I adore the Hershey Gardens. It’s close to my house, and we got at least once or twice a year. Great shot!
