Another shot from Wednesday's trip to the Cleveland Botanical Garden; check beck because I am going to identify all these butterflies as soon as I get a field guide.
Closeup of an unspecified orange swallowtail butterfly!

Visited the Stan Hywet butterfly house today where I found the most relaxed butterflies I've yet to see. I was able to take off the telephoto and shoot with the 60 macro; they didn't care if you stood right on top of them! One landed on my speedlight as I was changing memory cards. It's hard to use your camera to take a picture of itself.
It's a lovely facility, easily the most humidified butterfly house I've yet to visit, and I've been in three this summer. And it's been a HOT summer! When I walked out into the 90-degree heat and direct sun, I felt wonderfully cool. It was an odd sensation.
More posts to come in a day or so. Also some from the garden.
