Butterflies at Frederik Meijer Gardens

Each year Frederik Meijer Gardens hosts the Butterflies are Blooming exhibit in their tropical conservatory. This year it is from March 1 to April 30, but the butterflies are certainly there now. After a meeting there earlier this week I was able to walk around the gardens and check it out. With only a handful of other visitors in the conservatory it was a great experience. Quiet and serene - I can only imagine what it is like during the official exhibit. For the first time I wanted a camera more than my little point-and-shoot, but I still think I got some great shots.
