More on the Valentine theme. "Perhaps love is like a resting place, A shelter from the storm, It exists to give you comfort, It is there to keep you warm, And in those times of trouble, When you are most alone, The memory of love will bring you home." John Denver Taken at the butterfly house in Ames. No tripods are allowed so I apologize it's not perfectly sharp.

I just hate dirty cutlery !! A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... My gallery is here.

Wonderful Image Hilda. I like how they are not centered in the photo. Good Work.

Not a bad shot for handheld, Hilda. And your quote and image are just perfect together. Is that you and hubby in your new icon?

Absolutely incredible, looks more like a painting from someone's romantic consciousness, how in the world did you get this shot?
So, so beautiful. Another one for my favorites! Besides the beautiful pose of the butterflies, the leaves are just outstanding.

Aww that's so sweet. Although you will be getting in trouble intruding on all these butterflies' romantic moments. Just watch out when you're snuggled under the duvet that little pairs of insect eyes aren't firmly fixed on you ;-) Nice shot, they're such a beautiful colour.

A wonderful image of love and an embracing touch. As for John Denver, he can kiss my booty. I went to his concert many years ago and they made me take my camera back to the car. I have no good feelings for him. Lovely capture.

Great capture, My ten year old son was taking a similar shot this past summer and turns to me and says " They're doing inappropriate things"
