Springs Preserve

Yesterday, four of us spent a large part of the day exploring Springs Preserve.  The preserve features a variety of museums and gardens.  The butterfly habitat most impressed me.  We must have spent an hour inside the habitat, a netted-in area smaller than my living room.  I also enjoyed the traveling display of treasure and artifacts recovered from shipwrecks by the Odyssey Marine Exploration Company.

Springs Preserve is named for the life-giving freshwater springs that once supported a vibrant green ecosystem where the Las Vegas (and the preserve) is presently located.   Today I am posting a few photographs from Springs Preserve.
