Butterfly Wonderland, Arizona

February 10, 2014 by Barb 11 Comments

Last week I visited the Butterfly Wonderland in Via de Ventura, Scottsdale, with the “ladies”.

Whoa! I didn’t know where to start. There were hundreds of these beauties flitting around, landing anywhere they pleased, including on my head. They weren’t shy, that’s for sure.

At first I was using my 55-200mm lens but it didn’t take me long to figure out that all I needed was my 18-105mm, and at times, my 40mm f2.8.Butterfly Wonderland, AZ

I wanted to get this fella with his wings open, but that was near to impossible. It’s too bad because they were the most gorgeous bright blue, but every time it landed, it closed it’s wings. Still pretty, though!

When we finished at the Butterfly house, we all went for lunch at Mimi’s and enjoyed about an hour and a half of eating and talking (pretty much nonstop). How fun! Just like we’ve known each other for years.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful Monday!

Black and White Wednesday

Last summer I ‘captured’ this beautiful White Admiral feeding on some Queen Anne’s Lace (sigh) (can’t wait for some spring/summer weather). I thought this would be the perfect photo for my first entry in ‘Black and White Wednesday’ at ‘The Long Road to China’.
