Butterflies and a Lunar Eclipse

[efh5a]

So tonight was a night of butterflies and a lunar eclipse. My aunt is a Contributing Member to the Smithsonian, so she got an invite to the Natural History Museum's preview of its new exhibit on butterflies tonight, so you guys get a few butterfly pics. Just don't ask me what type of butterflies they are, I wasn't taking notes. Then, of course, there was the lunar eclipse and I got a couple of OK shots of it. Just so you know, the moon is really hard to photograph since it's so much brighter than everything else around it. Very difficult light settings. Anyway, here you go!













OK, this one is really cool, it's a millions-of-years-old butterfly fossilized in amber.
