With a little break from teaching over Fall Break, I decided to visit Tohono Chul Park, a desert botanical garden in Tucson, Arizona. The park is on 49 acres and offers classes, tours, plus dining in its bistro year round.
I took my camera but didn't plan specifically to shoot butterflies. I was really out after blooming desert flowers. However, the situation did present itself with desert bloom from a bush teeming with colorful butterflies skittering about nervously at my presence. I managed to capture a couple of these colorful insects going about their business.
