2014 Butterflies of Costa Rica

Sorry I am just running in and out. I went to the Butterfly Show at Krohn Conservatory this afternoon - one of my favorite events of the year. I really don't know how long I stayed - but I filled at 8 gig card with butterflies. They make me smile, laugh and wonder at their beauty. Did you know they have fur?
I was there last Friday and captured a fly on the same flower (or type). Check out my monarch shot from Monday. LOVED my time there. This is gorgeous, my friend...and an easy fav!

Is this shot taken with 100mm macros lens Cathy? I'm looking forward to experimenting with the one that Nicole gave me. This is stunning and a fav of course xx
April 25th, 2014  
@psychographer This is the 100mm lens. It really is my go to lens for all things detailed. You are going to love it. Just be aware that motion is killer. I deleted a lot as the silly butterflies kept flying.....

Stunning...brilliant capture with such lovely colours for the background...
