Here are some more of the pics taken yesterday at the Cockrell Butterfly center in Houston, Texas. If you get a chance to go there it's an awesome place to see and take pics. I regret not bringing home one of the sheets that gave the names of the different butterflies.
Woody ![]() This little guy started to take off just as I took the shot, thus the blurring in the wings. ![]() But that was okay cause these guys took his place. ![]() Stunning orange beauty ![]() I hope you enjoy these . Comments are always appreciated.I'll post more tmw if you're not tired of seeing them. At least it's not my dogs for a change. LOL

Shirley, we had a butterfly exhibit here at the botannical gardens and we had some of these same ones...the problem is it is so humid in there, at first our cameras wouldn't function. Is it like that there?
Your shots are wonderful..

Thanks for the very nice comments everyone.
Ttrimm, the handouts they gave out about the butterflies were something you had to buy. Leona, yes the humidity was horrible. I had to leave out twice so that I could cool down, but I had no trouble with my camera. Stitchbug, There were loads of butterflies yesterday, more than I saw the last time I went some years ago.
