Sunday we spent a couple of hours at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. There are several things I will miss on the North Shore now that Sarah and Adam are moving to Wisconsin, and the Botanic Gardens are high on that list. We visited a special exhibit called “Butterflies and Blooms,” and I thought three of those photos would fit right in with Mary-Lou’s Take Three Thursday meme.
This butterfly landed among many of the blooms.
If you look closely, you’ll see two butterflies on this beautiful orange flower.
This butterfly was almost transparent.
I have to admit the butterflies were easier to photograph than my grandchildren who weren’t much interested in having their photographs taken!
Beautiful spot to catch these butterflies! It is amazing to see the transparency of the third butterfly. Maybe their colors will inspire more butterfly cards, too!
Really great shots! And maybe a find for “Wings”?
Wow – these are great shots!! I had to laugh that the butterflies were easier to snap than the kids!
Seriously fantastic photos of the butterflies. Thanks for joining in today.
gorgeous shots Karen! I love visiting butterfly conservatories!
What a treat…we don’t see too many butterflies ~ lucky you had the Botanic Gardens to cisit. Echo Melissa’s comments re: grands and butterflies.
Cheers~
