For the holiday yesterday, my wife and I went to visit the Devonian Botanical Gardens a little ways outside of Edmonton. It’s a big park setting with all sorts of different zones dedicated to different types of flora. Kind of like a zoo for plants. There are also a few areas that are indoors where they keep some more tropical varieties. One of these rooms is also a butterfly room, which is where I got these photos.

If you enjoy my photographs please consider making a purchase. All of the proceeds from the sale will go directly to help support our friends volunteering at the Seed of Hope in South Africa which is a great organization really making a difference in the community. Every little bit makes a difference, even a small digital download for your desktop!

Beautiful images. I love the DOF on the first photo.
Thanks! Yeah I love shots with shallow dof, have to really nail the focus though, so it can be tricky sometimes, especially with moving subjects like these.
Lovely…you’ll have to take us there sometime…I’d like to see this place!
Yeah I think you guys would like it.
