Free Flying Butterflies

A butterfly is truly beautiful. From it's colorful wings to the soft swift flying patterns, they're always a favorite for many to watch and capture. The problem is really getting close to one to take a picture of it without having it fly away JUST as you were going to press the shutter! Albeit, you can purchase a larger lens and capture it from afar but that will cost you some extra $$$ So, how can we resolve this without spending a lot of cash?

The answer lies in South Deerfield, MA at a place called Magic Wings! It's a butterfly conservatory and has dozens of various species from all over! No, I'm not talking about seeing them through a glass window either. I'm talking about having them flying free inside a large garden like facility.

Imagine this: You're walking into their habitat and they're flying all around you! Many times even, they'll land on your shoulder, arms and even head!












It's amazing! Bring your camera and plan a day trip. You won't regret this adventure!! I was so much in awe, I only took 160 shots.
