Day 95 - More Flutterbyes

Had some more butterflies that I wanted to share so I made a collage. The variety in nature is amazing. I guess variety is the spice of life.
The pics are a bit smaller than I'd like. I have to figure out how to fix that. If you click on the image you will be able to see a larger version. I've been using the Mac program 'Collage'. If any of you use this and have advice please share. Or if you use another software for your collages I'd like to hear about that too. Thanks.

Day 94 - Which wing to wear?

Yesterday was the last day of the butterfly exhibition at the local Jardin Hamel. Peg and I went in the morning to visit. There were many butterflies but even more people. Next year we'll definitely go earlier and maybe on a weekday. I did manage to get quite a few pics but one of the guides told us there were fewer varieties than when the exhibition first opened.
Believe it or not these two pictures are the same type of butterfly. Sorry, I can't tell you what kind. When their wings are closed they're beautiful but designed for camouflage. When the wings are open a stunning display of blue and sometimes violet appears. It was magical to watch them fly around as their wings open and shut.
