Sometimes it does a body good to go the the Butterfly House and stalk some natural beauty. Those critters are so fast... I can only get them when they come to rest.

Just gorgeous! I was talking to some butterfly keepers, and they said that typically butterflies are quite slow and relaxed first thing in the morning, then pick up speed and are zooming around by midday.
What a sumptuous sharp and yet fragile picture of this delightful butterfly. I love butterfly houses too......so long as they don't have giant arachnids in too!
