Butterflies in macro
Monday, November 12, 2007

I took Jordan to the Desert Botanical Garden to see the annual butterfly exhibit last week. I also took my macro lens to try and grab some super close up shots. I love this lens and use it at every wedding to capture details, for lots of tight shots of baby hands and feet, and for personal things like this. Jordan was very into the butterflies for the first 10 minutes and then was more happy to build "castles" in the dirt while Mom took a few more pictures.

Incidental factoid: I learned that Monarch butterflies take 3-4 generations to make a full round trip migration to their refuges down in Mexico where they all head in the fall and winter and then back up again. They ride the winds down, similar to birds, but it just takes several more generations to complete the migration.

Here are a few shots...
