We spent the day at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga a few weeks ago and had a great time in the Butterfly exhibit. Here are a few pics. I'm no photographer as you will see, but some of these are decent.

I went there two summers ago with my sister and her kids, it was great, but of course there was one little critter in there trying to squish the butterflies, his parents weren't much better behaved-pictures are great though, nice job!

My only wish is that you included portraits of the cubs reacting to the surroundings, Fenrir.

I have some pics of the girls petting the rays at the water tank that I'll email you tonight.

Those are lovely pictures! How old is the exhibit? I don't remember it being there when we went but that was quite a long time ago......the t-shirt is shot. Can hardly see the frog anymore!

Sorry, I don't know how long the exhibit has been there.

They have one of those butterfly atriums at the Six Flags Marine world park in Vallejo. It's really really beautiful. Like an ethereal fairyland. :biggrin:

Some good pics there, dlb!

Butterflies have been tricky for me to photograph, so I applaud your efforts.
