Butterfly magic

This beautiful butterfly (at the Calgary Zoo) happened to land right on the tip of this long leaf, so I was lucky to get an uncluttered background. I was there again this afternoon, feeling like I was in a sauna, and was thrilled to bits to see a few butterflies that I hadn't seen on previous visits. Our weather forecast is depressing for the next few days, so thought I'd better go while there was at least a bit of sun. The new Enmax Conservatory is such a great place to go when you are feeling photography withdrawal symptoms after too many walks where everything is way, way in the distance.
