Colors of the Butchart Gardens, Canada
I might get a little bit boring but this is another image from the Butchart Gardens. We walked around throughout the gardens and I once looked up and saw this nice tree. The contrast between the yellow leafs and the blue sky attracted my attention. So do not forget to look up sometime if you walk around! More Details...

Blue Morpho, Niagara Parks, Canada
The Niagara Parks, Butterfly Conservatory is a wonderful place, especially for photographers. You can get really close to butterflies and take a shoot without hurry. On sunny days the light in the Conservatory is warm and bright enough to take photos without a flashlight, even with ISO 100. Taking a photo of the Blue Morpho with open wings was really a challenge. It could be seen everywhere but only with closed wings not showing it's full beauty. After chasing it for 15min, the butterfly gave me one chance to take a photo of his wonderful blue appearance. By chance, it rested in the middle of a large rock in a bright sun spot. More Details...

Blue Morpho, Niagara Parks, Canada
This is the Blue Morpho butterfly you already know. I think it tried to anger me. Most of the time I saw him with open wings in a distance but after getting closer it just folded up the wings. More Details...
