[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Playing hookey from work for a couple of hours with a coworker landed me at Brookside Gardens' "Wings of Fancy" Live Butterfly Exhibit for a photo shoot. I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the butterflies as well as the flowers. I'm not sure what kind this one is, but maybe someone can tell me. The display included butterflies from North America, Asia, and Costa Rica.

PP Work--saturate (+50), crop, size, frame and sharpen.
