It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

The Butterfly Exhibit
Well, I have showed you an Anemone, and a fish, and so I will complete the trilogy by showing you a butterfly. There was a bird room, but I think I will leave the birds out of it. The butterfly room was fun, because there were so many, you could see one and then another just a foot away. So I could just walk up to them and see them at close range. Some were flittering around like butterflies do, but I think that after they had eaten from the special feeding dishes, they probably just wanted to cling to a leaf and relax for a while. What was surprising was the incredible detail on their wings - each wing is made up of thousands of very tiny scales, and those different colored scales are what makes up the patterns.
