Butterflies aren't free Part III----

[sheltiesmama]

As promised here are more pics from my trip to the Cockrell Butterfly Center in Houston on Saturday. Hope you're not getting tired of these cause I do have more. I had a blast taking these pics.

Tho not as colorful as some of the others this was a really striking fellow--



This gives 'On the rocks' a whole new meaning---



And this one thought that this was his better side---



I swear they knew that they were posing for the pics. As I was focusing in on him he spread his wings even further out ----



I hope you enjoy and please comment.

Excellent pictures of these beautiful creatures. I was a butterfly farm about two weeks and thought the same as you about them posing for pictures, good job sheltiesmama

Very nice shots. I lived in Houston for 22 years and didn't know there was a Cockrell Butterfly Center..

Thank you all for your very nice replies. They really make my day. Before I found this group here at DPS I would have never been brave enough to post my pics for strangers to see. Although I don't consider any of you as strangers anymore, I think of you as friends. Click away!
