The Resting Butterfly

This Butterfly was resting on the wall just outside one of the rooms in Mexico, which gave me the opportunity to get in close for this shot.

Thistle Butterfly

I went for another walk around the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary today. However, there were more butterflies than there were birds. Here is one of them.

Prepared for Takeoff

I took this shot at the Butterfly House in the Calgary Zoo. It sucks that the humidity gave most of my shots this foggy look to them. I tried my best to crisp the image up in Photoshop.

Zerene Fritillary (Speyeria Zerene)

This photo was very much down to luck. I saw this butterfly (Zerene Fritillary) land and slowly open its wings. I really wanted to get a close up so that I could capture as much detail as possible. I slowly edged closer and closer. Literally the second I took this photo, the butterfly took off. Had I waited another second, I would have missed it.
