Butterflies
We dropped by the Science Museum in Boston today,
and visited the Butterfly Garden. It was about 100 degrees in there, a distinct
contrast from the weather outside. Herewith some pictures of the beautiful
creatures in the garden, as a reminder that we have summer ahead, though at the
moment it seems incredible.
The founder of the Museum, Bradford Washburn, died recently at the age of 96. He apparently led an incredible life, among other things being an accomplished aerial photographer. The museum has a tribute to him on view, consisting of a collection of his pictures. He took pictures with an incredibly big camera, yielding huge enlargements with incredible detail. If you get a chance to see them, take it. They're incredible. Here's a sample, but it loses a lot being so small. Click on the picture to go to a slideshow.
