After  a day of showers on Saturday that made staff at Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens nervous, patrons of the Monarch Butterfly Festival 2010 on Sunday enjoyed clear sun and fun. Inside the butterfly tent, the day's main attraction, some 300 butterflies fluttered around kids and adults. Around Lake Katherine, attendees learned tips for improving their home gardens and indulged in local cuisine. See for yourself in our photo gallery.
