Butterflies in Macro - Part 1
 Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 8:00
Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 8:00 This past weekend, we spent Sunday morning at the Botanical Garden. They have a special butterfly exhibit, which runs through 25 March. A perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with the butterflies and my lovely macro lens. Definitely a bit of a challenge to use, but beautiful results. I'm still working on getting the proper focus, but I love that we can capture their faces too, and the lens has a gorgeous, creamy background.
 One of my favorites - for the color and the closeup of his face

Kinda cute with his curly proboscis


I'd really love to see the Monarch migration one day.

Not sure where these come from, but they have a beautiful blue and brown combination I hadn't seen before



Another of the blue and brown ones.

Cool how these have blue and black polka-dotted eyeballs!






More to follow tomorrow....
