Butterfly World

Fine Art-Nature, Insects

I finally got a chance to visit Butterfly World in Combs, Vancouver Island, BC. I don’t have a macro lens yet, so I did what I could with my 28-280 zoom. I’m pretty happy with the results. I’m not even going to try to name these beautiful delicate creatures.

A super collection Michael – great shapes, great colours, and captured so well considering you don’t have your macro lens yet!

  Thankyou! Butterflies are awesome! Too bad I could only find them in that sanctuary – but it was equally to watch the visitors responses? Also what name should I use to address you in future comments?
