I fear I have been remiss in both posting and commenting on pictures. I shall attempt to rectify immediately, by boring you all with pitchers from the Strong Museum of Play's butterfly garden.

Butterfly and flower.

I like this one. I'm not sure if he's a natural "31" or if they have someone who's job it is to paint little numbers on their wings ...

"31"

My personal favorite of the shoot. And no, I was not upside down when I took it ...

This guy's a moth, but if he wants to call himself a butterfly, I'm not gonna argue with him.

Finally, a look at the exit for the non-butterfly garden.

    A very nice series Mark. I especially like #3 for the butterfly and #1 for the flower. thumb.gifthumb

    Hi Mark, I like your personal favourite, beautiful light on that one clap.gif

    The number 31 stands out so clearly on that second Butterfly,
    I can imagine someone hand painting the numbers rolleyes1.gif

    Lovely series, thanks for sharing thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    Thanks, Skippy. I just ordered a 12x18 lustre print for #3. I'm hanging it somewhere. Possibly the bathroom, but somewhere! :D
