When I am not hiking or wandering the beautiful state and national parks/sites of the Northeast I keep myself occupied with local macro or butterfly photography in and around Boston. A prime destination during the summer for photographing macro images of insects in their natural habitat is the Mass Audubon Broad Meadow Brook Wildlife Sanctuary in Worcester, MA. During the long winters of New England I make the 2 hour drive out from Boston to Magic Wings in South Dartmouth. Magic Wings is a beautiful butterfly garden that provides the nature photographer with unlimited photo opportunities and a fun outing for a day.

Beautiful is right! Love both the native and tropical beauties. The blue morpho (second photo) is quite battered but you got such a lovely shot of the iridescent blue. Hard to get because morphos normally rest with their wings folded together. Lucky you! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks so very much Catherine. Glad you like those butterfly photography images from my bug gallery! The blue morpho butterfly is always a challenge to photograph as they flatter nervously around ... for a while I tried to capture them in flight but needless to say haven't succeeded yet :-)
