Noah and I had an appointment in Dayton yesterday so I decided since we were so close and the day was gorgeous to head down to Cox Arboretum......and check out the butterfly house. I guess everybody had the same idea....for the place was crowded (the park areas were --NOT the butterfly house) and we had to park in the overflow section!
BUT....the butterfly house was spectacular and FREE.....I did expect to see more butterflies than I did.....don't you always? BUT since this was the only place I have really seen more than 1 butterfly this summer at a time......I enjoyed it. The more you looked the more you saw and I was able to still capture some good shots even though the sun was so bright it was hard to see what I was aiming at let alone trying to snap...and sometimes there were shadows to fool around with....or the colors seemed a bit faded....but....here are some of the shots......enjoy! ( I have MANY more and will be sharing more)
I will post more tomorrow!
