These are beautiful caprtures! Did you go to an exhibit of some sort?

Gorgeous series! I especially like the first, great focus on the front flutterby (as my daughter calls them, lol) and wonderful DOF.

Last summer we had a "butterfly house" - it's this netted pop-up cage thingy, and you get the caterpillars through the mail. You can actually watch as they grow from tiny pupae into large caterpillars, then create the cocoons, and then watch them emerge and they fly around for a bit, and then you set them free. I'll be doing that again for the pics alone!

Again, really beautiful pictures here.
