To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.

I haven't been out after butterfly's this year, but got a couple of photos on one of our summertime walks through Owl Woods a couple years ago.

I know this maybe cheating but has anyone gone through the butterfly garden in the Strong Museum? I looked over the website and did not see anything saying they prohibit photography in there but there is a spot where it mentions the warm and humid environment which might not be to good for the cameras.
