The Butterfly Pavillion in Elkton is only about an hour away from us. Went for the first time today. It's a nice place. We'll be going back.

Thanks. It's cropped quite a bit and rotated. But it looks better this way.

The background works well with the color of the wings!

Thanks. Background is shade cloth covering what they call "the flight room."

You can never go wrong with a shot like that....................well done.

Thanks. We went back for a plant sale earlier this year and picked up some Milkweed to plant in our garden. But was too early for the Monarchs.

Thanks Janse. I like the color, composition, lighting and background. Focus not so much.

Always a beautiful subject, when they are willing.

Had a "captured" audience more or less. Inside an enclosure at a butterfly conservatory.
