Festival of Butterflies

Last year in August I drove about an hour out of town to our local botanical garden where they were having their annual butterfly festival.  Seriously folks, out of everything I photographed last year, this was the best day I had for new images.  I took about 250 photos in the three hours I was there and came out with about 100 decent shots and several really cool ones.  I can hardly wait for it to come around again so I can take the new camera for a spin. 

If you don’t know where your local Arboretum or Botanical garden is I highly recommend you find out.  They can be wonderful places to take in the beauty of nature without ever leaving your state.
