Cleared For Takeoff

Still working on yesterday's butterfly outing. I love when they bring this to town. It is six weeks of wonder (I have a pass). It is sheer joy to watch the kids and every now and then I have to knock one of the little devils out of my way to get a shot. This was one of those times - darn kid. But the butterfly patiently waited for the little one to move on and let me get up close and personal. This one is worth a look with the magnifier.
Beautiful detail, especially with the magnifier.

Just fabulous, lady. Mega fav! I hope to get there this year for some of these amazing shots. Is it worth it without a macro lens?

@amandal It is. Your kids would love it and it is just a magical atmosphere if you like butterflies. If it is possible to plan on a weekend I have a pass that is for my whole "family" so I take groups! Life is pretty busy right now but we can see if we can work it out. Or, just you and me.

Lovely shot. I love how s/he is holding on to the edges of the leaf. I have that same problem with pesty kids every day lol ..but then it is my own fault for choosing to look after children!
