Hi Sharon, Having visited my first butterfly house (in Canada) and tried photographing these sometimes elusive, but beautiful creatures, I can appreciate your great skill in taking these photos! I can also tell you have a better camera! I am greatly enjoying all your albums and photos. Thanks for sharing your skills and creativity with us. Cynthia (New Zealand)

Thank you so much for your nice comment on my featured album. Arizona is one of my favorite places in the world and I try to go to the Sonora Desert Museum at least once a year. I also have photos on another site you might enjoy called www.usefilm.com Just love this album of the butterflys. I went to a museum recently with an enclosure of many species and got some nice shots, but not nearly as nice as yours. Great variety you have in your state. Thanks again (Bella)

Hi Sharon & Bob:-))) What a lovely album. Your photos are fantastic as always. There are so many different kinds of butterflies, it's a real treat to see so many of them here. You two have lots of patience:-))) I used the slideshow this time and what a surprise to see the changes. Not bad. Hope you are keeping fit and keeping up with family! Hugs and love, Jane

Gorgeous photos, Sharon! You're so lucky to have this Butterfly House near you. Almost every photo carries the "bonus" of a beautiful plant or flower. I couldn't pick a favorite if I tried. Thanks for visiting Sunny's album -- I hope to add some newer shots soon. I just posted an album of birds from my back yard, if you have time to take a look. Hope you're finding many ways to stay warm this winter! Best wishes, SJA

Hello Sharon, this album is exquisite! Every single picture a masterpiece. I was shocked to get a message from you - a message with a compliment :-) :-) about my POTD "seeds of a thistle flying away" a week ago. I am walking on clouds now! :-) Thank you very much for taking the time to look at it. - Galit

Hi my good friend. What a wonderful and extensive collection of butterflies. Problebly you are spending a lot of days with the butterflies in this place.

Hi Sharon, What a wonderful and extensive collection of butterflies. I'm thinking that, given the weather reports we hear here, you must be spending a lot of days with the butterflies. All kidding aside, this is a truly marvelous album and well worthy of the praise you have received. Greetings from Florida, Paul. P.S. Thank you for your very kind comments on Large Cats album. I'm sorry for being so late in getting back to you, but I had been away for a few months and I'm only now beginning to catch up with huge backlog of house work and messages.

Hi Sharon, How lucky you are to have such a wonderful place to go in the winter and take such beautiful photos. The butterflies are all so pretty as is Bob's shirt. LOL. We have to get up to the Conservatory in St.Paul and take some photos. It's just to cold here to go outside and take any. Anyway, I loved watching this gorgeous album. You're a pro my dear girl. Sharon

Hi Sharon, it was a great pleasure to watch your pictures with the new slideshow! I really like your pictures of those beautiful butterflies. I tried to take pictures of butterflies a few months ago and I know that they are not always very cooperative. Therefore, I really appreciate your very good pictures. It seems that they were posing for you! Thanks for sharing another beautiful album, will it be your next featured album? Wishing you all the best, Yair.

Hi Sharon, I love your new album. I know that this must have taken lots of patience and skill. Will you please have a look at my new album on gerberas and tell me what you think . I'm still new in this wonderful world of photography and will gladly take any advice that you give. I,m using an Nikon D70 camera.

Hi Sharon and Bob! We just have a first look at your wonderful butterflies! We'll be back later for a real slideshow! Fantastic as all of your albums! As we also have some butterfly shots, we know that's not so easy to get them quiet for a moment! :-) You did an excellent job again!!! Our favoite, after a first look: The lovely creature on Bob's T-shirt! Thanks for taking all these extraordinary shots for your friends! Hugs and love, Heinz and Käthi

Hi Sharon and Bob..What a great way to get out of the cold. Butterflies are so pretty and they have so many varieties there. I love the ones that remind me of lace. I think they are kite butterflies. I love the blue ones and the red and black ones. They are all so pretty. hugs and love, Barbara
