These butterflies were not for the faint hearted as they were constantly flying around and landing on everyone. The girls didn't like it, but I found it fascinating and would stand still for ages watching them.
This one had a faint pink tinge and was constantly attracted to my pink camera. Every time I tried to take a picture, it would land on my screen so I couldn't see out of my camera.
This one was attracted to my coat and had to be physically removed in the end.
I am quite pleased with how the pictures turned out and I look forward to scrapping them.
Whilst I attracted all the butterflies, my husband attracted this parakeet in the bird section. It landed on him and stayed there for about twenty minutes.

It may come as no surprise, but I love butterflies :) My favourite place on earth (until they shut it down recently) was a butterfly house where I used to live. Beautiful. I haven't yet found one closer to where I live, though I'd like to.
ReplyDeleteOMG that is one of my nightmares Ellie and Lewis would have loved it but I would just have screamed. It looks like you had a fab day though. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing trip to the butterfly house. I would love to go there. Your pictures are super and so clear. I like how you were able to get such close up shots. Really awesome Scrap Girl.

What gorgeous pictures! I especially love the bunny at the end.
ReplyDeleteYou have a surprise on my site. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool!! My husband and I are going to Callaway Gardens for our anniversary next month, and I'm hoping we get to go into their butterfly gardens while we're there.
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm not sure I would have enjoyed that actually, they are beautiful though!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I went to the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls last summer, and it was wonderful! Yep, and I bet I took 200 pictures there. (And of course, still haven't scrapped a single one.)
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful!! And the pictures did turn out great :)
ReplyDeleteWe did that once and I really ought to dig the pictures out. One landed in my mom's hair. Ooh! An Indian Ringneck! My mom had one named Oscar when I was a kid but he was pretty evil and no where near as sweet as this one sounds!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that is absolutely amazing! I would love to go there - you will have to let me know where it is and hopefully I will be able to visit - looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteThose are really beautiful butterflies! The parrot and bunny are adorable! Thanks for stopping by my place. Have a great day!

The butterflies, the parakeet, the rabbit! They're all so beautiful! The best part is, they (butterflies and bird) landed on both you and your husband. How sweet... Happy scrapbooking them, Viv!
