Key West Butterfly House

I have always wanted to go to a butterfly house and take photos. Well today I had my first shot at it in Key West!  I might be obsessed.
One thing I learned is that they keep their houses at about 4 million degrees and 100% humidity. :)
(Ok maybe not quite but that's just what it felt like.)
Not so good to have fog on the camera lens.
Also they breed them there! I didn't get any good pictures of the cocoons through the glass. They had them all in a special room.

Truely a beautiful place to spend an hour or so!




This little guy liked my mom and I had time to snap a few pics. No one was there to capture it when they landed on me! My mom is not so camera savvy. :)




These guys look like the blue one on top when they open their wings.


My fave.






Can't wait to go to the butterfly house back home in the spring!

They are beautiful :) however the first is my fav, and I think it's because of lighting. Know what I mean?

The shot w/all the butterflies on the lemons and the one with the pink flowers are my fav

Hahahaha! You know me well and I love it :). And by first one I mean the first butterfly shot from the other post. In case I didn't make sense ;)
