I went back to the botanical garden today to try out the macro feature on my camera. It was late afternoon and raining so the light was not good, and a lot of the flowers were past their prime, but mostly what struck me was the number of blemished butterflies. No matter how many signs and announcements are made telling people not to touch the butterflies I saw kid after kid trying to take hold of them and accidentally tearing off bits and pieces. It was a anticlimactic after my first experience and left me feeling a bit sad.
But I did get a good shot of a group feeding.
