Went to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles today, there is a butterfly pavilion and we are doing a story on it for the newspaper. These are a few of my outtakes. What a wonderful opportunity to photograph a wide variety of butterflies!

Some pics for you to see — Shot with the 10D 80-200 zoom with a variety of extension tube combinations.

This guy is rather beat up, his wings are torn and shabby but his colour was still wonderful.

I guess that server doesn't permit embedding?

I was able to follow the links independently tho - great shots, beautiful colors.

A return trip to the butterfly pavilion netted a few keepers, including this one.

Hey Red Shoes

Absolutely wonderful shots. I love that last one especially.

[RedShoesGirl]

Thank you! She rarely held still enough to get in focus but a couple of shots at least part of her is sharp. :)

I love these pictures. And I love butterflies. Thank gawd for these pavillions or we could run all over the world looking for these beauties.
