This weekend I went for a road trip with
Owen McNamara to Tucson, Arizona. The Botanical Gardens was hosting a Butterfly Exhibit, something I could not miss. They had a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes, all mesmerizing and stunning. We were lucky enough to stay during their after hours and hear a class on butterfly sex, which was hilarious and informative. After the class we went back into the butterfly tent and release newly emerged butterflies from their chrysalis exhibit. This was one butterfly event I will not forget and one I recommend everyone to go see! I hope you enjoy the photos I took. Warning to anyone going to the event and looking to take photos, it is very humid in there and your lens will fog up, so be patient until it clears.
