Butterflies and Fish - Photo Post

We are sure enjoying our zoo pass this year! We've been there three times already and we just got the pass two months ago! This trip, I took pictures of the butterflies and some animals in the aquarium. Not all of them turned out to well. The butterflies move a lot and the aquarium is a bit dark, but I did get some good shots.






This butterfly has the largest wingspan of any butterfly.

I love the bright color of this eel and they are so interesting to watch.

My son wanted to catch the fish.

He was very interested in the stringrays. In the picture below, he was trying to catch one that was near the bottom of the aquarium.


I hope you have enjoyed my photos! There's always a lot to see at the zoo and I'm sure we'll be back many times over the next few months. Hopefully I can get some more great photos!

    1. Meredith, I don't really do anything special. I just look for the right lighting, zoom in and click. Some of my pictures of the butterflies didn't turn out because they fly away too fast. Thanks for the compliments!

    1. Then you would really freak out at this. There are hundreds of butterflies flying everywhere around you, even landing on you. One landed on my daughter's head! (I got a picture but I don't put pictures of my children's faces on my blog for privacy reasons.) Believe me though, you are not the only one who is freaked out by butterflies. I heard quite a few people outside the butterfly house who were telling their friends/family they didn't want to go in!
