Each year they have hundreds (maybe thousands) of butterflies flying around the enclosed garden area. It’s very cool, and if you have the chance, I highly recommend checking it out. Anyway, if you like any of these, please drop a comment. According to google, this site gets a fair amount of unique visitors each day, but no one ever leaves a comment. Yes, I realize that this last sentence was full of self pity, but I love attention, so there you go. Anywho, these were all taken with my D60, Sigma 70-300mm lens, mostly in aperture priority, though some in manual, and ISO 100, 200, or 400.

So here you go, and let me know what you think. (The shots of the water at night are from our hotel room). My favorites from this group are the Orangutan, the two shots of the Gorilla, the bald eagle, and the shot of the water reflections without the star filter. These were all taken with either my Sigma 70-300, or my Nikon 50mm lens. Also, you really should hit FS (full screen) to see these in detail. These are somewhat low rez versions, so if you see something you like, let me know and I can send you a high rez version.
