In the land of the Butterfly

Edited to add: Thanks to Heather for the comments. If you click through to the full entry, there is now a link to the Picasa album near the bottom of the page, and a slideshow on the blog page if you just want to sit and watch the pictures fly by (hee!). Let me know if these work for you!

I won free tickets to the Butterfly Pavillion through a Yellowscene magazine giveaway (awesome magazine AND great giveaways!), and fortunately they were dated a year out so we could wait until Eamon could enjoy them as well. Now if we'd just thought to go when it was cold out and the tropical butterfly room would have felt good....

But otherwise, it was awesome. The pictures are amazing, so click through any of these to get to the full (edited) album on Picasa. Warning: there are tarantulas in the full album. Arachnophobes, beware.

In the meantime, here's a sampler (click for more):

Kudos to Ray: It's really hard to get a picture of a toddler AND a butterfly. Even when there are a million butterflies...

Destructobaby does not like the sign.
Some of my favorite shots have nothing to do with butterflies.
I see what you did there, with the Nemo clownfish and the Dory. I see it.

All in all, an AWESOME day.
