aww many thanks pat, for over 40 years i have been so crappy at taking photos they family would not let me touch a camara, then my daughter gave me her old digi just before the summer and i get a thrill with all new pictures, i am getting a lot deleted hehe but its like someone else has taken these, lol dawnx

Wow ! now that is beautiful,l am not a big fan of butterflies {terrified of them} but this one sure is pretty,wonderful capture Dawn xx
dawndavies replied
many thanks trudi, when you go in there they are so busy getting on with their little short lives that they just go from flower to flower mainly, but on occasions they do land on you and a big mirror is in there by the exit to check lol my kids hate it in there too ,dawnxx
susan davies
love theglass winged butterflies, didnt know they had them in bristol zoo, really must get there next year, your photos from there are fantastic dawn
dawndavies replied
many thanks sue, yes they are getting these from all over the world and breeding is a sucess there, i never knew these existed before, however most locals are asking the zoo to provide some gb ones as our polulation of our own butterflies is at a dangerous low level, our council is urging us to plant things in our garden to help this situation and the zoo has been asked to help, and then they can let our own free to boost the numbers and it should not be as expensive as this exhibet due to needing less heat, do go its wonderful in there and hehee very warm,dawnxx

Beautiful shot. I managed to snap one at the Botanical Gardens in Amsterdam Holland in Feb 2003. (Although not nearly as good as yours). Had my Nikon SLR (No I wasn’t stoned), and was plagued by walking into greenhouses when there was a blizzard blowing outside. Tends to make the lenses fog a bit. I was awed that in Hollands Botanical Gardens they allow butterflies, crickets and other insects. In the States they’d kill the off as pests immediately. Kudos for the wonderful shot. :)
