Butterflies in a Museum, Lilies in a Gallery

I went to the South African National Gallery and the South African Museum today. There was some exhibition of a Russian painter who came to South Africa. He painted a pretty picture of red lilies in a vase. You wouldn't BELIEVE how good these paintings were. The museum was cool, but a bit... creepy. Shivers ran up and down my legs the whole time. It felt like all the animals and birds and things were watching me. But there was a butterfly exhibit that had such beautiful blue butterflies in it. They looked like they were shimmering. And later, I went to the library and got some Jane Austen books. Educational day, I'd say, wouldn't you?
