Farmer's Market Discover #3: Butterfly Chrysalis

I've posted before about the wonders of nature you can discover at a local farmer's market.  This year my daughter's have discovered tadpoles and a large frog while visiting the farmer's market.  On our latest trip we discovered a butterfly chrysalis.  This was a great opportunity to explain to both of our daughters how butterflies are born.  Here's the picture of the butterfly chrysalis we found.

On the other side of this wall was an old butterfly chrysalis where the butterfly and already broken free some time before.

All that was left was the very outer shell of the chrysalis.

When you think of a farmer's market you think about getting fresh produce that is locally grown.  This is great, but there can be so much more to a farmer's market if you simply open your eyes and look around.  Encourage your sons and daughters to look around and notice the nature that is right in front of their eyes!
