The Spring Butterfly Exhibit returns to the Desert Botanical Gardens at the Marshall Butterfly Pavilion. The colorful insects will roam free in the pavilion until May 31, 2009. This is one of my favorite butterfly photos. I love the color and the background. Mariposas are so beautiful. It is unfortunate that they have such short lives.

Gorgeous butterfly and shot too! I agree with you about the background.
I visited the butterflies weekend before last and got some great photos. I have a collage of butterflies coming up tomorrow on my Phoenix Daily Photo site.
Neat picture, if you enlarge it the colors really jump out.
Beautiful butterfly, it is true that only enlarging the photo you can fully appreciate the colors.
Amazing photograph. I'm imagining what happens on May 31st when the exhibit is over.
Oh wow, the colors on the butterfly are so intense and beautiful.
I haven't seen a butterfly in years. I wonder why there aren't butterflies in NYC. Pollution, maybe?
belle prise photographique
"Un bon petit diable à la fleur de l'âge
La jambe légère et l'œil polisson
Et la bouche pleine de joyeux ramages
Allait à la chasse aux papillons
Comme il atteignait l'orée du village
Filant sa quenouille, il vit Cendrillon
Il lui dit : "Bonjour, que Dieu te ménage
J't'emmène à la chasse aux papillons"
Cendrillon ravie de quitter sa cage
Met sa robe neuve et ses botillons
Et bras d'ssus bras d'ssous vers les frais bocages
Ils vont à la chasse aux papillons
Il ne savait pas que sous les ombrages
Se cachait l'amour et son aiguillon
Et qu'il transperçait les cœurs de leur âge
Les cœurs des chasseurs de papillons" Brassens
At first I thought it was a red admiral but then I realized it wasn't. I don't know what kind it is.
We had thunderstorms last night and lots of rain and lightening.
This is such a great exhibit. Your photo is really beautiful.
Amazing the vibrant colors you can find on butterfly wings. The backdrop helps them just pop.
The backgroung color with the butterfly make a beautiful image.
The colors and symmetry found in nature is perfect.
Very pretty butterfly and background. Its wings are pretty, but I find the bodies of butterflys to be a little creepy looking. I guess I'm just not a bug person.
The colors are superb. These beautiful creatures are just not around long enough!
Very different shape and color of this butterfly!
