Happiest Place on Earth: Part 2

I think everyone is in agreeance that waterfalls are cool. That they make people happy. The second part to this happy place though is a little more subtle but no less incredible.

The place was filled with butterflies.

I love butterflies.

I love to take photos of butterflies.

I was in heaven!

Because the butterflies loved me! I had three on me at one stage - I had them landing on my camera, obliging for my smartphone even! I have a rule on Instagram - I don't put any SLR photos on there, just ones from my Samsung because I believe loading an SLR picture defeats the purpose. Instagram was happy that day! At first I was just snapping away on the smartphone, but eventually I was just walking around with my SLR because they were just prolific.

Here are a couple. Some are obviously from the smartphone and others are from the SLR. I hope this rainbow of butterflies brings you as much joy as they brought me!

Samsung Galaxy - not bad for a smartphone hey!

Samsung Galaxy - butterfly love!

Possibly a favourite - also from the Samsung - two of my greatest loves!
