Thank you all so much,Bonnie, Colleen, Carolyn, Cathy, Bill, Paul, Allan, Claudia, Donna, Kathleen, Marie, Stephen, Gary and K for you wonderful comments! This place was so beautiful with SOOO many butterflies flying around. I wish a wide-angle could have caught the atmosphere as it was. Many butterflies were quite "lazy" and more than willing to "pose" for shots while others wouldn't land for anything. Many would land on my hand, the camera itself, my shoulder...and one time, even my nose. It was quite an experience:-) #580249Elisabeth A. Gay June 06, 2004
