Macro Shot




This is about as macro as I can get with an iPhone. It's a monarch butterfly in the butterfly room at the Desert of Maine. What do butterflies have to do with the Desert of Maine? Nothing. But for the price of your ticket, you get a tram tour of the 90 acre desert, access to a mile of hiking trails, and admission to the butterfly room where you can see about six living butterflies and a few dead ones. And, if you are under 12 years of age, you can dig for gemstones planted by the staff in the desert. Honest, I love places like this!

  4. I so love this and the fact that they charge for such a thing. This likely will need historical protection. I would love to be a benefactor to marginally important and hopefully tacky attractions.
