Location
I was visiting the 'Wings Of Fancy' butterfly exhibit at Brookside Gardens, in Wheaton, Maryland with my elderly mother. They had many varieties of butterflies there that weren't native to our part of the world. I was so lucky to be able to experience them live and in person. To have them flutter by, next to my ear, or to have them land on my Mom's sweater sleeve was so much fun. I think everybody in there that day turned back into a child as we saw smiling faces & heard lots of giggles with lots of oohs and ahhs too. We were transported to a little world filled with beauty & amazement.Time
Mid-dayLighting
This was inside of a glass greenhouse structure filled with plants. It was a sunny day; but there was shade from the plants.Equipment
Just my handheld camera- no special lighting. No tripod.Inspiration
How could you not? I love butterflies...their colors & designs. Their sizes & shapes.Editing
NoneIn my camera bag
I didn't carry a bag inside this place. Only my camera.Feedback
Take time from taking your shots to just simply sit & enjoy your environment & the day. Breathe. Think peaceful thoughts. Take in the full experience.
