Butterfly Conservatory of Niagara Falls, Ontario

Yesterday I had the opportunity to be a tourist in Niagara Falls as I showed a friend from Japan some of the local attractions. I'd never been to the Butterfly Conservatory before, despite spending a good part of my life in the region. I felt like a kid in an enchanted forest! It is an absolutely wondrous place to visit and I'll definitely be back soon. Everywhere you look there are butterflies of varying sizes, shapes and colors. Some of them flit about, occasionally landing on the visitors. As a photographer, it was paradise. Luckily I had brought along my Canon 70-200 IS USM lens which allowed me to capture some of the more distant butterflies. I'm thinking of bringing a macro lens next time too as many of them were too close for my long lens. If you're in Niagara, either as a visitor or a resident, I heartily recommend you check this place out!
