The Spring Butterfly exhibit at the Desert Botanical Garden opened last week so I went on Friday to see how they look. I'd say they are looking very good. Above is a Gulf Fritillary.
Here is a White Peacock butterfly. (My friend Julie said she would call this photo 'Butterfly with Chop Sticks' because of those stems in the photo.)
A Pipevine Swallowtail on a yellow flower.
And, I was thrilled to see my favorite the Malachite. I only saw two of them and they both stayed on the plate with the orange slices the whole time I was there.

Wow, great pics, Sharon !
Beautiful captures Sharon. I don't see many butterflies in my garden, but I do get lots of bees and birds visiting.
Fabulous to see, Sharon!
Beautifully captured, Sharon.
Great photos, Sharon. Your camera must have a very fast shutter speed.
These are beautiful.
I love seeing these shots -- a parade of beauty. And that Malachite is extra gorgeous. Your post today is a real treat. Thank you!
Motyle są piękne i cudownie wyglądają na fotografiach:)
Oh my gosh they are beautiful shots Sharon, especially the last, the patterns are too gorgeous.. thank goodness for the orange slices :)
Beautiful photos, as always! I love those malachites too. Don't think I've ever seen one live.
The delicate beauty of butterflies captured perfectly.
So cool.
The last picture looks like a watercolor!
