Butterfly

I do love butterflies - they are just beautiful, don't you think? The first five images of this series were taken in Victoria Butterfly Gardens (1461 Benvenuto Avenue, Brentwood Bay, BC, Canada) in August 2003. The rest of the images were shot in June 2009 in the "Schmetterlingshaus" (house of butterflies) on the Mainau Island, Lake constance, Germany.
