Default Butterfly festival from another angle

Here are some shots from the Butterfly festival yesterday that our family attended. These shots are from a bit of a different angle. We all had such fun, even though it was a rainy day,
we got lucky and the rain stopped while we were there. Hope you enjoy them.

This is my grand daughter admiring a visiting butterfly.

Her butterfly, what a hairy little thing.

Hey Mom, I knew you would have some fabulous shots from yesterday. I of course am partial to #3, but #4 also has great focus on that butterfly! I love the rusty gate and funky elf, very interesting and fun. Great shots!

I love the one where your granddaughter is admiring the butterfly.
It's a great shot.

Hello toyvlle, I thought these pictures were sort of familiar. I now realize that you are Michelles mom. Pleased to meet you. I am Jake. You had a great day at the butterfly festival and you have some excellent captures with lovely colour and detail. It is nice to see things from a different perspective and you use a creative mind to wander away from the norm... Very nice work. I will wait to see more of your work... Can't wait.

Jake.

Thank you all for the kind comments. This is such a great place to learn from some truly talented
people. I love that Michelle and I share the same passion for photography, and this forum is such a
great place to share and learn. I have some more to post when my 24 hours is up. And I always look
forward to seeing all of the beautiful pictures posted here.
Thank you, Deb
